Heaven's Front Door
By Joann Ryan-Stanley
Do We Even Have To Knock
Do We Even Have To Shout
Is Anybody Home Is Anyone About
Are The Lights On
Is The Alarm Off
Are The Archangels There Keeping Other’s Out
It’s All Up To Us You See
How We Want To Live Our Own Lives
How We Want To Be
For We Hold That Key By Our Actions Here On Earth
Given By God From The Start Of Our Birth
As We Pause And Stand Before Heaven's Front Door
We May Ask Ourselves Am I Worthy Or Must I Wait
With My Time On Earth Did I Love Enough
Did I Care Enough And Treat People With Worth
Did I Stop The Hurt I Was Causing Other's
Or Did I just Proliferate Pain And Fear Instead Of Love
Did I Help The Weak The Old And The Young
When They Reached Out Their Hand’s Because They Had None
Was I Gentle To The Earth And The Animals Too
Or Did I Just Turn My Back And Say
"' It’s All About Me Not You"
My Eyes Catch A Glimpse Of A Sign On Heaven's Door
It Tugs At My heart And It Evens The Score
It’s Message Is Clear To My Heart And My Soul
For It Reads
"No Matter What Your Beliefs Or Creed
Love One Another As I Have Loved You”
