Slowly
I head for the open gate
the door is
open
I must not wait.
Time will come
I’ll be gone
then
someone else
will guide you thru
that
open gate.
Safe, secure
you will follow me
into
what becomes
our true destiny.

No more can I be
someone needing you
or
all those things
I’ve been
you thought I was
I needed
I wanted to be.
Now
I’ll change
I’ll stand on my own
I’ll be
I’ll say those things
that must be said
so
needed to be true.

I cannot
understand
where the sadness
came from
and
where it hides away.
To
creep out, to consume
when happiness
fades
goes away.

No one seems to know
nor do they understand
the way to heaven
is always open
That
it’s there
Always
at their command.

I’ll be there on the wind
Whispering
You’ll hear my voice
As you walk down the quiet hall
Laughing.
I’ll be there
When you graduate
Applauding
And
Do not hesitate, do not wait
For
I’ll be there
With you
In all your accomplishments
When you’re sad
Alone and just a little mad
To comfort you, see you thru
I’ll be there
When things get hard
When you don’t know
Where to end, where to start
To give you all my strength
Help you see your path
Your lane
I’ll be there
And
When you too
Pass thru Heaven’s Gate
When your time has come
I’ll greet you
I’ll be there.

For John and my friend Maria – Rest in peace 🥰
You place me
in a spot
I don’t want to be.
I struggle to be
somewhere else
somewhere sunny, happy
somewhere
where I want to be.
You don’t control me
you can’t make me
something that I’m not
I don’t want to be.
So I’ll let you go
I’ll move beyond your control
and not be
in a spot
I don’t want to be.

I couldn’t be
all that I was suppose
to be.
I couldn’t seem
to succeed
at being
what you wanted me
to be.
No, all I’ve ever been
all I need to be
is
that person
I am
That person
God wants me
to be.

Lonely and all alone
I stand at the entrance
wondering
wondering should I go in
or
stay here
Lonely and all alone.

Not sure why
Anything is.
Not sure how
The earth came to be
Nor if it’s existed
More than an eternity.
Not sure why
My heart does pound
When I feel your presence
Next to mine.
Not sure I’ll be here
Laughing, crying with my family
Til the sun sets
On all humanity.
Not sure
Not sure I want to be.

I can’t believe
the things I see
I need
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll be better able to handle
all that comes at me
Maybe then
I’ll smile, relax
and
know it was meant to be
Meant
just for me.
