This post is deeply affecting. The photograph so accurately matches your words, those you quote, those you wrote. Inspiring. I hope you don't mind that it led to more poetry...I'm guessing that might have been your hope.
Linda, thanks so much. I did put quite some thought into this post Gates to Heaven. I wanted to touch people in a way more than just a picture. They say a picture says 1000 words. That is correct and those words can lead many different directions. They can stir many different emotions depending on the words thought or used. I thank you for adding a verse, it fits very well. I also thank BeachComber for his great posts and words, he is such an inspiration for me and so many others. I sincerly hope he does not mind me following in his footsteps.
