Poetry: Departure

by Kelly Ismail

Created on: March 18, 2009

To Heaven's Gate

When you take your final breath

And leave this earth to journeys end

Travel through the prism tunnel

Light as air, floating onward

Towards the end you see family and friends

Gone before but not forgotten

Jesus there with smiling face

Hand held out, He greets and guides you to a place

Pass you by the Holy Gates

Beyond their doors Heaven awaits

Jesus takes you before a stand

And looks through a book that only He can

Finds your name and sees your deeds

Good and bad, in your soul He sees

Will you quiver or will you shake

Bow your head or beg and plead

Ask forgiveness on your knees

Everything about your life

every burden, pain, and long lived strife

Every happy, good, and final deed

Is written in the Book that Jesus reads

Worry not what He sees

You have lived your life in Jesus name

Passed on His words not seeking fame

Jesus steps away from the stand

And gently takes you by the hand

Guides you to the awaited place

With Jesus you walk through Heaven's Gate
