Mystic Rose Rose Poet Free verse

Straight As An Arrow

we will all enter heaven 
some of us limping 
some of us straight as an arrow 
we will all enter heaven 
when our time comes 
God is good and compassionate 
a Father who loves us with all His might  
we will all enter paradise 
with our eyes wide open and our hearts pure 
when the light of the angel casts a shadow of gold 
over our brittle bones of old,   
we will all shoot into heaven, straight as an arrow
limping or not.
