From my back porch, I view the sunset,

it is an event I will never forget.

In reality, I see only a setting sun,

but what counts is what I feel when it is gone.

From my front porch, I see the baby playing on the lawn,

it is an event I will never forget.

In reality, I see only a new life at its dawn,

but what counts is what I feel when I am drawn.

From my heaven, I see my front porch and back too,

there were many events I will never forget.

I reality, I see where my life has been,

but what counts is what I feel after I am gone.

The reality of all this,

leads me to a life of bliss.

Now I realize my true fate,

as I stand in front of St Peter's gate.
