Heaven’s Gate
I got to the gate of heaven yesterday after we said goodbye.
I began to miss you terribly, because I heard you cry.
Suddenly there was an angel and she asked me to enter heaven’s gate.
I asked her if I could stay outside for someone who’d be late.
I wouldn’t make much noise you see, I wouldn’t bark or howl,
I’ll only wait here patiently and play with my tennis ball.
The angel said I could stay right here and wait for you to come,
Because heaven just wouldn’t be heaven if I went in alone.
So I’ll wait here, you take your time, but keep me in your heart.
Because heaven just wouldn’t be heaven without you to warm my heart.

What a precious poem. Now I really am bawling like a baby.
