Through Heavens Doors

It’s your birthday today
so, I walked the seaside beach
as we would have done for play
had your final day not been reached

…and tonight I will slowly dine
on your favorite white clam chowder
lift to you my glass of red wine
and turn up Doris Day a little louder

when this day sees the last of light shrug
I will lay my forehead to yours
and close my eyes to send you a hug
whisper I Love You through heavens doors
