The Holy Man

He knew the Holy Books
   He was a Holy Man
He spent his Holy Time
   Roaming o'er the Land

He visited the sick in hospitals
   Brought comfort to those in jails
Gave one and all a blessing
   To tip the Heavenly Scales 

He utilized every second
   He never wasted a breath
Ever pushing and striving upward  
   From birth to day of death

And when he got to Heaven
   The Holy Man, God Himself did greet
Saying, "Of all the beings I've created
   It's you I've longed to meet"

The Holy Man then bowed his head
   And shook it from side to side
Told God he was just obeying orders
   ~ As God broke down and cried
