The Gate and Beyond

I feel the touch of an angel's hand,
as before me stands the gates to the promised land.
The ornamental gate opens with ease,
my body feeling the comfort from a delightful breeze.

Divine images of streets of pure gold,
there beyond the gates a majestic house to behold.
The warm misty skies soothing to see,
the path adorned on each side by flowers and trees.

A glorious place I am longing to go,
where the skies are blue and peaceful waters flow.
Soft melodies floating through the air,
played by angels to take away any worries or cares.

Stories written of a heavenly place,
every heart there is filled with glory and grace.
You can enjoy a gentle dove in flight,
aware you will be safe as you sleep again tonight.

Lions and leopards on equal ground,
as the wolf and lamb lying close by sleep sound.
Each one knows their enemy is near,
but they too seem at peace with nothing to fear.

Gone any reason for people to fight,
no thought in paradise of who is wrong or right.
All pain and misery will soon be gone,
knowing serenity will reign from sunset to dawn.

The grace and love will last eternally,
when every person on Earth is finally set free.
Certain through the gate and beyond,
any desires will be met and can be counted upon.
