Through Heaven's Gate

"Estoy esperando a tu pappa."

My grandmother's voice clearly

Calls in my tia's dream.

The waiting is now over.

Grandma and grandpa are together

Again after 50 years apart.

"What took you so long?"

I'm certain my grandmother

Asks as she escorts him

Into heaven to share eternity.

My grandfather answers her,

"Mirar Maria, look at the children

You gave me. See how they have

Grown and look at their children and theirs."

"I know." she responds.

"It's time for us to go in now."
