The Door : Inspirational Poetry

The Door

Do not consider

The door as closed

For when I left my body

My spirit arose

And my soul survives

It breathes past time

Beyond earthly moments

Outside my bodies confines

Still, I understand you

I soothe your tears

I realize your pain

And quiet your fears

I listen silently

While you speak to me

I cradle you in my arms

As sadness flees

I hear your laughter

Encourage your dreams

Motivate your triumphs

Inspire your esteem

We will only be separated

But a little while

Till’ then provide me

The joy of your smile

I am within your heart

Just unlock the door

And it will remain open

For you… evermore.
