The Five Questions At Heaven's Gate

I do not believe in a judgement gate I do believe in heaven’s gate I feel when we arrive there will be five questions. Who did you love? How many did you love? How did you show them love? Did you love everyone you saw or only your friends and family? Did you show them love in empathy and compassion? it is my truth, and I live it daily, for I know the benefits Showing and sharing love to everyone I meet Showing love to animals also. It revitalizes and rejuvenates me. It keeps me skipping forward toward heaven. Fearing no one, knowing I have done my best today. Ready to answer these questions if I should be turned over to heaven.

One more question will surely be: Do you love my son? The evil won’t enter the pearly gates. I love the love in your poem. Love love love it xoxo

YUP!!! I think I may be on the right track as kids and dogs tend to like me....not so much the adults....probably because I resist the "growing up" phase.

Growing up is overrated.

Perfectly agree with you Caren ! All the questions center on LOVE. It is the greatest thing ! Love yourself, love everyone you come across in daily life and love God. Definitely the gates of Heaven will be flung open before you ! This is a lovely poem and goes into my FAV.

I couldn't agree more, my friend. Love is the central word. After all, from what I understand, GOD IS LOVE.

God is love and love is God.

Appeasement is not a form of Love but letting fear take hold and fear can make people do horrible things. Important poem well penned. It must be hard to Love without faith. Best regards David in NZ
