Connie's Poem

I saw her there in heaven
And she said the wine was sweet
The cherubs brought fresh flowers
To lay them at her feet

The gardens gay were covered
In green and gold and red
The bowls filled all with berries
And fruit and fresh baked bread

So I stepped across eternity
And walked up to the gate
To ask the sturdy keeper
If this too could be my fate

He told me not to worry
“Your fate lies safe with me”
He gave me pens and paper
And said poetry is the key

So now I wander happily 
Among the future stars
I will meet someday in Heaven
Where Connie rules the Czars
