NEVER SHUT THE GATE
Never Shut the gate on l~ve, for when you do, you lock your~elf away
From all that is devine . for no one may survive without.
For he who lov~s becomes a part of God
Therefore star~ it within the w~rehouse of .your soul,
Accept each offering as a gift. 'Of life and usP. it well,
For truP- love marks the line . 'twix heaven and hell'
'
