I have my sister to thank for finding this little nugget.
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
as I entered Heaven's door
Not by the beauty of it all
nor by the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
that made me sputter and gasp-
the thieves, the liars, the sinners,
the alcoholics, the trash
There stood the kid from seventh grade
who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
was rotting away in hell,
was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?
I'd love to hear Your take.
How'd these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake"
"And why's everyone so quiet,
so somber? Give me a clue."
"Hush, child," said He "they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you."
