 HEAVEN'S GATE At dawn, when wisps of wind sing against a child's window pane, when soft rushes of butterfly wings sail upon trickles of heavenly rain, they say that wishes come true when whispered in the morning air, granted by the Lord, sending His lace-edged messenger to deliver with care Do flutter by, gentle butterfly, sublime take children's sweet dreams to God's sacred realm divine, soar free, soar high, soar across rainbows 'neath the cerulean sky, soar on through the breeze past sunflower fields and elusively fly Soar with cherubs past the tangerine sun, float upon their dance to the world show your glory, children's eyes do entrance soar lightly, soar gaily, soar swift...do hurry dreams do fade, now don't be late flutter upon the steps aglow, upon the stairway to Heaven's Gate Greet the hour of angel choir songs of love enter the paradise of God's cathedral above, enter freedom, enter laughter and truth. Enter into what was once a dream, grace that golden gate into that ever so beautiful peaceful scene Do caress and deliver a child's wish now free for, Heaven's Gate of pearl awaits thee come enter souls pure, come enter spirits kind enter upon a butterfly to God's arms, 'tis a heart's greatest find Soar on free, soar on high, soar across rainbows, gentle butterfly sing in merriment to the world an angel's lullaby travel through morning, through mid day and starry night lavish over a child the Creator's calming light Through seasons of sorrow, or on a fresh Spring day bring miracles back to little children, then fly back to the heavens to play dreams have been granted. Your task is done. Gentle butterfly now rest return to His side, an archangel; His most honourable guest Once more, at dawn, wisps of wind shall sing against a child's window pane bringing forth the soft rush of wings delivering dreams upon God's heavenly rain *By Melissa Honeybee* *A special thank you to Marge, for helping me edit my poem for a better presentation  ~Hugs~The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 01-12-2001).] |
