Bones found no big surprises
walking the streets of Heaven.  

He found the people who knew
and loved him,
and those who would have cared
about him,
had they known him.  

Missing were those
that looked down on him
from their higher ground.  

The people who had
no time for him,
or just ignored him,
and didn’t care.  

Bobby

Thanks Yann,

Yes, I've heard about heaven.  They say it's a great place.

Thanks for the kind words on the poem.

Hi Bobby -- I'm missing the point here.  Is Bones delusional?  Trying to put this in context with your work.  Maybe a mistake on my part.  Been known to happen.

Best, Jimbeaux

Thanks Jimbeaux,

You must have missed the poem where Bones is brutally murdered by a group of his clients.

Being someone who never hurt anyone, he went straight to heaven.

Bobby,

The Bones Series has made me so sad.  I guess because I knew the end.  I am glad that Bones found happiness on the streets of heaven, but I feel so much sorrow for the time he spent on Earth.

Thanks dear Alison,

Now I told you, stop being sad.  Life is always hard on the streets of earth.

Love Bobby

Thanks Chopsticks,

Yes, you've got that right.  South Broad Street is a very long street.  It runs all the way to heaven.
