Thee Judgment Of God's Animals
To Enter Heaven
Before thee gates of Heaven wide
where souls in silent grace abide...
Stand creatures sent from realms above
to weigh thee, heart with truth an love...
lion’s eyes, both fierce also wise...
pierce through each mask, each veiled guise...
does courage dwell within this soul?
Or fear that hides, beyond control?
gentle dove with wings outspread
seeks kindness in these words once said...
was mercy shown in darkest night,..
a beacon in thy fading light?
these wolves, with senses sharp so keen
sense loyalty, seen also unseen...
did faithfulness walk close behind
Or selfishness, that left love blind?
a deer steps lightly, soft an pure
Judging innocence that can endure...
was there a heart that held no spite
a soul that sought that good, thee right...
wise old owl, with watchful gaze,..
assesses wisdom through life’s maze
did lessons learned then truths embrace...
guide footsteps toward a sacred place?
each animal, by God’s command...
holds judgment not with harsh demand...
but with his grace that Heaven brings
to see beyond all worldly things...
well, if your soul is found sincere
with love an faith both shining clear...
heaven's gates swing wide, a welcome sound—
In Heaven’s light, your soul is found worthy to enter
