Bittersweet when last we meet
At heaven’s door, a momentous leap
From our earthly chains
Of suffering and pain
Two young lovers with faith and hope
Divided later refusing to cope

Bittersweet without skipping a beat
We frolic like finely tuned athletes
Not so just seconds before
Wheelchair bound on the floor
Frail and broken, words never spoken
The doors of eternal life now open

Bittersweet this magnificent feat
Time travel after death we cheat
Once human and full of despair
Now angelic without a care
Except to love each other we find
Especially those left behind

Bittersweet this heavenly treat
After human form cannot compete
With secular demands of toil and sweat
Once enslaved with many a regret
Finally arrived at heaven’s feast
Tis worth the wait to overcome the beast
