A Ladder To Heaven

This is the 1st song I have written.

Chorus:

 

If a ladder reached up to Heaven,

I would climb it to the sky.

I would look in wonderment,

at those things that fly.

I would find you,

and the sun would shine in.

I would take you by the hand,

and take you home again.

 

Verse 1:

When you went away,

you really broke my heart.

A family that had been so close,

was missing an important part.

No longer would we laugh together,

there were times that we would cry.

To the one who had always been my angel,

you now reside in Heaven high.

 

Chorus:

 

Verse 2:

You will always live in my memories,

my love I could never deny.

Even as I grow older,

my love for you will never die.

Forever you will be my angel,

I loved you from the very start.

Although you live in Heaven,

you will always reside in my heart.

 

Chorus:

If a ladder reached up to Heaven,

I would climb it to the sky.

I would look in wonderment,

at those things that fly.

I would find you,

and the sun would shine in.

I would take you by the hand,

and take you home again.

Thank you for submitting this to the Ladder to the Sky contest. I have never read a song on this website, and I enjoyed reading your submission. I think you did a good job expressing emotion to the readers in a way that they will easily understand. My only question about this song is this: is there something missing after the second "Chorus:" between Verse 1 and Verse 2? Or is Verse 2 the second chorus? I look forward to reading more of your writing in the future.

Beautiful. Have you put it to music?

[RHEA CROSLEY]

Wonderful poem I like it. However I think if she took your hand she would pull you up and you would not want to leave again. My wifes up there I miss her greatly and I hear it is a wonderful place.

It made me cry and i dont cry very often
I just lost my mom and you put all the feelings that i have
and put them in words its comfort and a realease
I wish everyday I could bring my mom back
