Heaven's Gate Poem

Heaven’s Gate
By Lisa Noe

I lay afraid and all alone
In my lone hospital bed
As the sun has brightly shown
I dream to myself, I am dead

I follow the light that shown bright
Where I see a golden gate
What a surprise, it is a sight
I saw Him, He said, “It’s fate.”

It was my most precious daddy you see
He told me, “You must always be with me.”
