At Heaven's Gate

Oh, my Dear
what a life you have led!
Just now coming here?

Years ago you were thought gone
the other direction for the sinful ways
you embraced with such passion.
(Now, of course, out of fashion.)

Any questions, my Dear
before you appear to
the All-Forgiving, All-Knowing, All-Wise .... 
What will he ask of me, you say.

Only one question its true:
Who have you loved
And allowed
to love 
you?
