Asleep By The Gates

Folder: 
August 2002 Poetry

Asleep by the gates,

lays an angel.

Wings cover her tiny body,

to keep her warm.

Asleep by the gates,

is a child,

waiting for mommy,

to read her a bedtime story,

just as she would,

any other night.

Asleep by the gates,

is a child who doesn’t understand,

that mommy won’t be reading to her tonight.

For mommy’s not an angel yet.

So this child,

this angel child,

waits.

Asleep by the gates,

of Heaven.

I wrote this on 8-6-02. It's about a little girl that died but doesn't understand it and is still waiting for her mommy to come and read her a story, only for her to fall asleep by the gates of Heaven.
