They say heaven's a wonderful place
Floating far up past the clouds...
Somewhere that love can always embrace
And there's no malicious crowds...

I had a dream a few nights ago
In which I went to that place.
Why I dreamed that, I didn't know
But when I got tot he Pearly Gates--
There was no St. Peter there,
Only a dragon on guard!
I was lost, I asked him where
I was, then he laughed real hard...
"You don't understand! Heaven is not
The same for everyone.
It is a place where you get a lot
Of rest, and maybe some fun.
It's different for you, and mostly for
You love dragons so much."
And at that he opened the door
And told me he'd keep in touch.

I passed through the Gates and I found myself--
Back in my room at home!
I found a note on my bed right next to the shelf
And I read it aloud, alone;
"You're not ready for that just now
For you are too young to die.
No dragons down there, I know--somehow
You'll meet one later.
--Your Friend In The Sky."

No, Spyro, you're not quite ready for the Great Beyond, that undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns....

Stay with us yet a while, and we will learn from each other. And perhaps you'll find Dragons where you least expect them.

Beatiful dream thoughts. I had a dream like that, only St. Peter told me I was in the wrong place.
