Heaven's Stair
Heaven will be whatever you make it, you see
Dog-catchers down here will chase dogs up there
Hog-butchers on Earth will slaughter hogs Upstairs
You choices down here
Seal your Fate up there
Look before you leap
If you'd ascend Heaven's stair
Spend your day texting, twittering, playing video games
Consecrate your energy to evanescent fame
You'll fritter away the Divine in your name
Spend Eternity in pursuits quite lame
Visit the sick, give alms to the poor
Love the stranger, the widow and orphan for sure
Extend them kindness, mercy, loving care
Continue your Heavenly work ~ in Ethereal care
When it's all said and done, when the race is run, when your time has come
Your abode in Heaven is what you create on Earth -- and then some
