Waiting at the Gates of Love

Soft whispers in the air, a gentle gate to grace

Years of love, unspoken prayers, shining on his face

An elder man with stories deep, eyes that hold the skies

Reaching for a heaven, tears almost in his eyes

"Sir, you’ve lived a life so grand, a beacon through the years

But one last thing, I hope you understand, I need my dear

"

Angel at the door, with a kindly, knowing smile

"Come on in," he gently says, "just stay a while"

Waiting at the gates of love, where angels softly wait

For those who’ve loved and lost before, beyond the golden gate

Eternal love can wait, a bench to sit and dream

Hold on tight, it’s not too late, love is more than it seems

His heart is longing, not for heaven’s glow, but for her hand

A lifetime of memories, he dreams they’ll soon command

In a nursing home so near, her face in peaceful sleep

He wishes for the moment when their hearts can finally meet

Angel’s promise softly whispers, "Love is never gone"

"When the time is right," he says, "we’ll carry on"

Waiting at the gates of love, where angels softly wait

For those who’ve loved and lost before, beyond the golden gate

Eternal love can wait, a bench to sit and dream

Hold on tight, it’s not too late, love is more than it seems

A golden bench with wings and hope, a symbol of their bond

A promise that their hearts will find each other beyond

The limits of this earthly life, in heavenly divine

Together in eternal love, their spirits intertwine

So he waits with patience, heart aglow, a whisper in the breeze

Knowing love’s eternal glow will bring her to his knees

Stand beside the gate, my love, the angel softly calls

In love’s eternal waiting, love conquers all
