Meet Me At Heaven's Gate

 

Our love . . .  a forevermore love,
in my heart it will always flow;
even though you have gone above.

Darling, I am full of sorrow,
oh, why, why did you have to go;
will visit your tomb tomorrow.

Visions come to me of your kiss;
as I walk past tombs row on row,
oh, your lips gave me such sweet bliss.

In my night dreams I see your face,
you come to me as a shadow;
and my fingers caress and trace.

I am shattered and heartbroken,
my soul is weeping, weeping woe;
oh,  many words left unspoken.

I stayed with you till the last breath,
and will come in sun, rain, and snow;
for this true love will survive death.

Darling, meet me at heaven's gate,
when for my soul dark death will crow;
but years perhaps will be our wait.

Daniel Henry Rodgers July 8, 2026 at 4:54 PM Dear Constance, Reading your poem feels like walking alongside you through that graveyard. Such a deep truth about how grief actually works.. Acknowledging the long, perhaps weary wait of the years ahead feels incredibly honest. It isn't a fairy tale; it’s a heavy, resilient kind of hope. It shows a love that refuses to quit, even when it's forced to change shape. Blessings, Daniel Constance La France July 25, 2026 at 11:12 AM Daniel, your comments are always so beautiful, thank you, yes this is a love that refuses to die. !
