Heaven's Door

Those in the pews
at the Funeral Mass
sit in silence; Solemn
and sad , gathered together
to mourn, and bid farewell
to one who has died. But there
is  also joy, and smiles in
recalling the life who touched
other lives with a kind word,
a warm embrace, special
moments shared , and laughter.
And hope eternal  that the
one no longer here
crosses Heaven's door
and is greeted warmly
on the other side
