Standing in line,
At the pearly gates
By the look of this line
I've got quite a wait.

St Peter's interviews,
Short but sweet,
Is patience a virtue?
Gotta stay upbeat.

Mother Teresea,
In front of me,
We're now at the door,
My heart's at my knees.

Now you know how I am
Just'a lowly Toerag,
Ain't been no angel
But not terribly bad?

Then St. Peter says
To Teresea the Nun:
"You couldda' done more,
Before you were done.

Now being the Toerag
You all know I've been
If he said that to the "Mother"
He ain't lettin' me in!!!

Tell you what?  I will send up a little prayer for you, that will sure shock him!   Cute and yes, vulnerable as heck!

To see real beauty - look with your heart.

Toe,
Thank goodness for grace!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Aw, Toe... what a perfect answer for the challenge! *S* But you're not to worry...

Those pearly gates will open wide!
If you hesitate at the door
Angels will escort you inside
To meet with those who've gone before.
What a reunion that will be
Forever happiness begun...
And if you ask "All this for me?"
The Lord will answer "Toe, well done!"
