Heaven Is For the Faithful

L-ong and lonely evening H-as turned into sunrise; E-arly dawn has broken, N-ight shadows pass from eyes. I-nclement clime turns fine, R-ain stops from falling; I-n the open lanes above, S-ky is clear and the wind isn't H-owling. M-orn in March twenty-nine A-ims to take the dusk away; B-ad weather has turned I-nto a new warm sunny day. L-ight shines everywhere, O-ne twilight has faded; G-ray clouds disappear, as the haze has just drifted. E-very thing in this world S-hall not last but will perish; C-alled creatures as they are, O-bliged to grow then vanish. B-ut after men breathe their last, A-nother death awaits all; L-ake of fire is for the wicked, while heaven is for the faithful.
