STAIRS TO HEAVEN

STAIRS TO HEAVEN
Stairs to heaven, so many soldiers walked
You reach the top, and those gates will be unlocked
Light shines down from above
Hoping you will find peace, free of pain, full of love
You gave your life, for something you believe
Fought a long hard battle, now find some relief
Walk up the stairs to the gates of heaven
Your no longer in pain, grief will lesson.
Our hero, you will always be
Our soldier who gave his life so we can be free
I see you walking those stairs in my mind
A smile on your face, words said in kind
Up those stairs one step at a time
Peaceful calm and music chimes
I see you when I close my eyes
When Sadness comes, I look to the sky
See you standing there on those stairs to heaven
You are at peace, my heart is free and no longer cries.

This is so appropriate and fitting for this Memorial Day Weekend. How respectful you are with such sensitivity and praise for our fallen heroes. Your words create such clear images and spark my senses into action. You cause my emotions to flow. Applause!
