AS I CROSS THE GATE...

AS I CROSS THE GATE…                 By Nelson M. Kilonzo

I cross the gate,

Yes I do!

I cross the gate

That barred me from feeling my love forever

The gate that made us live in worlds too far

The gate that held him back from me

But now I in him and him in me

As I cross the gate…

His hand fitted strongly in mine

As his ring in my finger fits so fine

On my cheek rolls down a tear

Not for my heart’s a fear

Rather for the joy we share

And eternally he is mine

As I cross the gate…

I too feel sorrow

For the hearts I left hollow

Your care and love I borrow

For my heart’s love I follow

And to him I feel so low

As I cross the gate…

As women clap in joy

Men nod in appreciation

As we walk hands stitched

Going down the isle

My heart racing in glow

As I cross the gate…
