The Righteous Express

The righteous express is on track seven. It's leaving shortly as a nonstop for heaven. If you have lived a pious life, and undergone sacrifice and strife, it will leave you off at the pearly gates. It's the final destination for all the greats. It's a trip all the good can afford. Your devout life is what you need to board. You'll be welcomed by representatives of Our Lord. inspired by another member's poem.

I am a poor sinner but fortunately for me, Jesus will greet me at the station and usher me to his Father's throne. Once there I will be declared innocent, because I am washed clean by the Saviors precious blood.

Dear Robert, very nice work on this creative poem. I thought perhaps it was inspired by Emily Dickinson's "Because I Could Not Stop for Death." Check that one out when you get a chance. I do believe that those who've led a good life will be welcomed at heaven's gate. Love, Carolyn
