Heaven's Welcome Mat
HEAVEN’S WELCOME MAT
Heaven’s welcome mat has been spread out again,
And countless happy souls are welcoming him in.
We miss his friendship here, his witty, smiling face,
And yet we know he’s gone to a much better place.
Though the time was very brief that I had known this man,
There’s no doubt in my mind that God was in

Welcome Mat
forget the welcome mat ; we're
all meat so they say
so if you've teeth come on in
forgive the soul some say
forgive the god some pray
forget the welcome mat ; we're
all done and no one's in
so if you've come from afar
you have a longer journey to go
before you see me once again
forgive my friends
forgive my

A Special Welcome Mat For Happiness
so easy to be happy right now
worked really hard to get here
remember the smell of stale sweat on the tattered backseat pillowcase
the moon was as blue as i was
the sun was weighed down with icicles
so refreshing to smile right now
struggles like mad to set up the stage for its return
remember the tick crawling amongst the

The Welcome Mat In Front of Our Home
This family fears God above.
Within these walls, there will always be love.
The door will constantly be open to the good.
I want that to be unequivocally understood.
If you are good, you will always be welcome.
We don't care where you are going, or where you are from.
See the welcome mat in

Welcome Mat
Welcome Mat…. by: Steven Hudson
Hands tremble at the grip in my hand,
Two worlds collide in moments of time,
The trigger shakes, while onlookers scorn
What once was peace, now a violent storm
Away ye dogs of thunder come to plunder my house!
Who come to grant me the title of fatherless son
You knocked

The Un-Welcome Mat
I
Do not
Want to hear
Your sales pitches.
I need no brushes.
I do not eat cookies.
I donated blood last week.
I have a good vacuum cleaner.
I have no time to read magazines.
Please do not tell me your religion.
Do I look like I wear makeup?
I have an alarm system.
You do not need my vote.
I just cut the grass.
I

Brand New Welcome Mat
the moon lingers
hanging desperately in the sky
dreading daylight
it luminates the sky
casting shadows
creating dark alleys
and forgotten heartache
Daylight grimaces on the horizon
playfully gracing the sky.
the darkness fades
a portrait of wildflowers welcomes the light
pathways to the soul refreshed.
doorway renewed
a fresh new welcome mat placed on my heart:)

My Chest Is Your Welcome Mat
Lost Love is always welcome here
Behind blue eyes
And in these tears
Inside my hollow hopeless heart
Between black lungs
And broken parts
Upon my calloused finger tips
That touched the skin
I've come to miss
