Poem Artwork

These are the Gates to my Home,
and my Heart...
You are welcome to enter, both
as Family and/or Friend.
The keys to unlocking the gates
are kindness, peacefulness,
and love...within yourself.
Once you enter...let us always
be gentle with, considerate of,
and loving to each other. These
will allow us to feel at Home
in our hearts and in
Gods presence.
Upon departing, or retiring for
the night...let us always do so
in peace with each other, with
a hug, and a prayer in our
hearts that all mankind may
someday feel the same.
May God Bless and Protect all
who enter These Gates.
