I heard the crack of the opening gate And I knew that Heaven would not wait; The soul was wrapped in a glowing light And slipped forever from my sight.
Although the walk was winding and slow We traveled together here below; Yet when she passed through the Celestial Gate I wondered; to grieve? or to celebrate?
The rocks were sharo along the road; I could not bare her heavy load. Her pain was great and she longed for home, And now - She's left me- all alone.
She's found peace in heaven above, Now she knows that perfect Love. I shall miss her, til I see The Gate doors opening again- for me.
