Lost At Heaven's Gate
Someone got lost at heaven’s gate
he knocked and knocked
and he dosed off and fell asleep
waiting for the door to open.
Mistaken he was as ever
he could see not with his dark eyes
what is open or closed, he knew not
he sat back and observed
souls appearing and vanishing.
Footsteps deafened his ears
and he began to dose again.
A young man came and asked him
what he wanted at heaven’s gates.
he said,” I want to enter heaven but I see no gate”
Go back, go back to your home, young man ordered
rejecting advice he demanded;
“My home is in men’s soul, let me enter yours.”
