    Default Tribute poem- written as a dedication to a friend's great poem...

    Reception At The Heavenly Destination


    Home far away in that shrinking mist of light
    this moment is for earthly mortal passing
    Up ahead glows a brilliant golden Heavenly sight
    one that imagination fails in surpassing.

    Well, the big gate opens, music hits my ears
    I feel the angels now serenely flying
    Here rests no sin, anger, hate or earthly fears
    Truth living here banished all the lying.

    Trumpets are now sounding, soft blasts that sing
    joy and laughter now invading this soul
    All is faith and love in a huge blazing golden ring
    high above us, a throne on Holy hill's knoll

    Earth and its memories now seen in a new light
    pain and sorrow sent forever far away
    All is sweet daylight, banished is dark of night
    "Our Savior's Welcome" tis' all the angels say!

    "Approach my son", booms out from throne on the hill.
    Your soul is most welcome, as it is my Father's will!

    Written as promised to him my tribute to his great poem,
    This poem was inspired by Peter Duggan's great poem,
    from his most recent poetry book,
    titled -The Last Journey......

    The Last Journey

    I am going home , my song is over
    The actor rests, his time has come
    I am going to cross that mystic river
    And gaze upon that clear bright sun.

    Well I can hear the whisper calling
    And telling me "your time has come"
    The image dies the mask is falling
    No more the many, there's just the one.

    As energy is dissipating
    All worldly cares they wilt to nil
    There's no more wrath , there's no more hating
    There is no thing just a space so still.

    I say goodbye to all who knew me
    But do not grieve me when I'm gone
    I'll rest in peace my friends but someday
    I'll come again to sing my song.

    Peter Duggan

    Reposted in its own thread and edited by me because first posting did not quite measure up and honor his great poem well enough to satisfy me .-Tyr

    Both awesome poems. Make me think about writing a poem to be read when I've finished my time here.
    If the freedom of speech is taken away
    then dumb and silent we may be led,
    like sheep to the slaughter.


    George Washington (1732-1799) First President of the USA.
