Lost At Heaven's Gate

Someone got lost at heaven’s gate he knocked and knocked and he dosed off and fell asleep waiting for the door to open. Mistaken he was as ever he could see not with his dark eyes what is open or closed, he knew not he sat back and observed souls appearing and vanishing. Footsteps deafened his ears and he began to dose again. A young man came and asked him what he wanted at heaven’s gates. he said,” I want to enter heaven but I see no gate” Go back, go back to your home, young man ordered rejecting advice he demanded; “My home is in men’s soul, let me enter yours.”
