You look so pretty,
even unconscious.
Your life has been been complicated
by choices
your own
and others you depended upon.

I am hoping heaven’s gate
looks as welcoming as this image.
leading you home with a well lit,
clearly marked path.
Some of your life
seems to have not had a clear path.

Childhood was interlaced
needs unmet
by fragile parents,
and foster parents
you were unprepared to trust
or befriend.

This image would give you the
“just for you” entryway
that might appeal.
Go into that light, trust that heaven
has a crowd of loved ones hiding
because Jesus will hug you first.
