The Golden Gates

The golden gates of contentment
Opened when you entered my life
Banishing my baggage of resentment
Your love cutting through my pain like a knife


The golden gates allowed in
Your undemanding love in abundance
So many things in a spin
As my old life becomes redundant


The golden gates welcomes new lovers
Years of partnership to enjoy
To see love in all its colours
And to cherish each other’s joy.
