Journey To Heaven

By the time we get to Heaven Our work will all be done No more worry, bills or sickness Just happy that we've won But finally reaching paradise Will be an arduous task We must be ready for the questions St Peter will surely ask Did you follow life's golden rules Teach your children right from wrong Did you honor your marriage vows Amid temptation...were you strong? In business were you honest Did you cheat your fellow man Did envy overtake you Was greed your lifelong plan? Did your friends come to you When trouble came their way Did you give them love and comfort Or did you turn away? Heaven must be earned Entry can be denied I pray St Peter will welcome me On the day that I have died Copyright©2012 Beatrice Boyle (All rights reserved)
