 ~Gates~
~Gates~













~AGM~
There are many gates
they contain the contents
of many things
Holding out the strangers
wanting to enter

Gates go to things of beauty
Like the garden in the Spring
Flowers galore
birds singing
Forests and mountains
A doe with a fawn

Gates to Grandmas house
Where you are always loved and hugged
She makes you the best cookies!
You can smell the aroma before you enter
You always feel Love and Happiness
when you go there

Gates to Beautiful things

Some peope who have been hurt
Put a gate around their heart
to stop those who want to enter
Only to hurt again
Trust is no more
Love = Fear

Raging anger
Loss of a Child
A love gone wrong
Lies
Cheating
Pain
Hate = Anger

The Gates of Manmade Hell

If you think about it
there are gates everywhere
in our lives
Some lead to beauty
Some lead to pain

To experience Beauty and Pain
We must take the chance
Enter that gate
Trust in your self
Experience Life
Even though it isn't always good
You Learn
Easier it will be next time


Gates are like Storms
some cause destruction
some are just loud and scary
some beautiful as lightning flashes
across the dark skies
Some gates can't be avoided
you must walk through
to get where you are going

Fear not my Friend
The last gate will be to Heaven
Made of diamonds and gold
You will go through many gates
Learning as you go
Nothing will be so Beautiful
Nothing else so bold
Will your eyes ever hold
The last gate, through which
You will ever have to go.
