A way to find my love again <br />To rid me of my endless pain <br />And give me shelter from the rain <br />There stands the open gate. <br /> <br />A way to walk through meadows green <br />And see the hills that stand serene <br />To visit lands I've never seen <br />There stands the open gate. <br /> <br />A way to leave this smoky town <br />Where all my hope did sadly drown <br />Far from the life that dragged me down <br />There stands the open gate. <br /> <br />A way to leave my misery <br />And fnd a place I can be free <br />To live in peace and harmony <br />There stands the open gate.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-open-gate/
