Shall we go?

Shall we go?

Yes love, where to?

Heaven.

Heaven - would I get in?

Yes, just say you know me.

I'd love to Wendy, but I can't. I have to stay for the kids.

Well, don't worry Joseph, it won't be long. Time flies here.

Really, literally?

Yes. You know how you can go back thirty years to when we met, and it's like yesterday, well it's like that here, only you don't have to wait thirty years. It's like you just click your fingers and you will be here, don't worry.

And you are sure I'll get in ok?

Definitely Joseph, just tell Pete - I just call him Pete not St. Peter -

I heard only angels get to call him Pete..

Yeah, I think I heard that too.  Anyhow just tell him you know me...

I will, thanks love. I've always been glad to know you.

I know that Joseph. What's that silly word from that film -
Ditto.

the world would be a lovely place
if everyone was you

Everyone

"oh, I only said that for a joke"
She said, undoubtedly embarrassed
At my gratitude

If course she did,
How could she have come up with those words
Randomly,

Such a wonderful and beautiful compliment,
So much better than mine,

'i love you 'cos you're great'.

Carmen was too late,
She couldn't retrieve it
She'd sent it out to me,
I had caught it,

And sent it straight to you,
So much more deserving of it
Than I

'the world would be a better place
If everyone was you '

She said
To me

But probably meaning you.

Goodbye my love,
My wonderful wife Wendy.

Prettier

I bought a diamond on a ring
' was the most beautiful diamond I had ever seen
I gave it away to you
You were the prettier of the two
