I do believe

Dennis R Monroe, jr 1966 (San Bernardino, CA)



I do believe the Lord above
Created you for me to love.
He picked you out from all the rest,
because he knew I'd love you best.
I had a heart and it was true.
But now it's gone from me to you.
So care for it as I have done,
for you have two and I have none.
When this life is over and I've been called home.
Away from this earth never more to roam.
Inside the Pearly Gate, at the top of the Golden Stair, with the other angels I will wait for you there.
If you're not there on judgement day,
I'll know you've gone the other way.
So I'll give back my angel wings, golden crown,
and other things; and to prove to you my love is true.... I would even go through Hell, just to be with you

Dennis R Monroe, jr

I wrote this poem while still in school; always believed in fairy tale wishes, happily ever afters,, and dreams that do come true. That wasn't the begining, nor is this the end, just part of the story about the struggle of my heart against the wind. Life for me has turned out to be everything I always wanted it to be. Thank you Christina for helping to create that with me. more…
