The Gate of Heaven

I got to the gate of Heaven yesterday,
After we said good bye.
I began to miss you terribly,
Because I heard you cry.

Suddenly there was an Angel,
And she asked me to enter Heavens gate.
I asked her if I could stay outside and wait,
For someone who’d be late.

I wouldn’t make much noise you see,
I wouldn’t bark or howl.
I’d only wait here patiently,
And play with my tennis ball.

The Angel said I could stay right here,
And wait for you to come.
Because Heaven just wouldn’t be Heaven,
If I went in alone.

So I’ll wait here, you take your time,
But keep me in your heart.
Because Heaven just wouldn’t be Heaven,
Without you to warm my heart.

 

With Love,
Patrick
