I Dream

the gates of heaven

are what I see

when I dream

gilded in gold

warm to touch

just a gentle push

they open wide

a host of angels

greet me with smiles

one foot then the other

I enter in to a place of love

where I’ve never been

a garden of poppies

dance back and forth

souls of those who fought in the wars

gurgling giggling new born babes

breath hardly taken

this is their happy place

golden roses and babbling brooks

blue skies that hold no rain

and then coming my way

extended out arms and smiling faces

big hugs and warm tender embraces

from those who have left my world for this

oh how I have missed these souls

the people who were my world

full of kindness and love

and as they begin to fade

I miss them all over again

these are the best dreams I have

until my time comes until I pass

and I can join them once more

In the after life.
