The Bridge To Heaven

They walk on me with thumping shoes, 
as if they were uncaring brutes. 
But I am sure in my heart; 
they're sad for their blows smart. 
Bitter indeed are the cruel nails, 
on my flesh with wounds that ail. 
Reminding me of cruci-fixion; 
repeatedly I suffer affliction. 
Let's take the pains of today, 
in hope of the Lord's day. 
He surely will exact revenge: 
for the devils' innu-merable offense. 
The stripes of so many years, 
is naught before eternal cheers. 
The cool wind from far off heaven, 
invites us into arms pleasant. 
So walk on me O my dears: 
but mourning, for my many tears.
