Soaring To Heaven Poem by Lee Geoghegan

Upon death, I'm soaring to the stars
Bearing all the hurt and the scars
Of a life I've suddenly left behind
Wonderful memories, many treasures to find

My spirit has left my body now
Sailing through the clouds somehow
Ascending to the great unknown
This beloved earth, I've now outgrown

Wedding bells have turned to rust
My body returning to the earthly crust
I long to see my wife again
She's been gone now for almost ten

I've arrived at a majestic heavenly gate
A sense of belonging and timeless fate
As they open, I'm greeted by friends and kin
I can feel their light without their skin

My wife steps forward to a loving embrace
An angelic glow upon her youthful face
Together again after all these years
We rejoice in a flood of ethereal tears
