I stood in line at the Pearly Gates waiting my turn to enter there wondering if I would be turned away and saying a little prayer. Two men before me were consigned to the fiery depths of hell one a lawyer of some renown the other one named Fidel. I stood up next and prepared to be questioned on what I wrote after all those naughty poems, surely, I would be smote. My record held in Angel’s wing he perused it with great care scratched his head and asked me Please, to wait right there. I waited nervously and thought I'd be told hell is where I'm bound then all around there came a booming, laughing sound. A light approached from everywhere and before me stood one so grand I immediately fell to my knees and kissed His Godly hand. “Will I be sent to fiery depths to burn forever more Have I not done some good in life to avoid that hellish shore?” He smiled at me and took my hand and said that I should know Heaven’s gates are always open That’s where all poet’s go! |

Wow, I was in suspense through this and got to the last line and felt overwhelming peace. Thanks for the splendid trip through your poem to the peace of God. I love it. |

Well, you had in suspense there for as you know I have written a few of those poems myself!!! This was an excellent journey showing the grace and love of God. I just love the last stanza!!!  Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

I liked the poem, and then, reading the comments, I had to howl with laughter, remembering that astounding, hilarious, colorful gem by Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745) - if you guys haven't read it, you really should - it begins: "Corinna, Pride of Drury-Lane, For whom no Shepherd sighs in vain;" and I don't think there's another one like it on the face of the earth!

Good DeVine. . .'cause if you're going to hell then I would surely be right behind you!!! This was a great poem. . . I think people have always wondered if poets were *ahem* "Divinely inspired"! --------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
