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 Justa 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!!!

If you feel scared next to Mother Theresa Think how we all feel next to you! For though you tease and lack patience (*S*) St. Peter knows you through and through. I have no doubt you'll be welcomed (If anything in life is fair) Those gates will swing open and you will find Your loved ones all waiting there. There are a few smudges on your life's page But a finer man's not to be found! When your time on this earth is done Dear Toe, you'll be heaven bound! Smooch, sweets... I like this very much. *S* And the Mother couldn't help coming up a bit short. *S* Her tiny stature couldn't hold a heart as big as yours. *S* |

Something tells me you'll be late getting up to Heaven's gate but when St. Peter reads the roll he'll know we're there we've done the toll Even Toe, rascal you, will get your pearly due... |

Toerag darling boy this is utterly divine I love it, you always seem to be able to write the moment. This made me smile, and if you don’t get in I haven’t got a cat in hells chance. I might as well give up now. What I did to get such a rep I haven’t got a clue, but no matter how often I say I’m innocent no one believes me Simply fabulous really well written, I really did enjoy this one When you say I look like a fox, does that mean you think I look like Basil Brush?    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 [This message has been edited by Marsha (05-13-2002 10:53 AM).] |

Ha, ha, but St Peter would have higher expectations for the good sister, yes? Toe, I expect you've done plenty of good things in this lifetime, my dear. Cor |

Mr.Toe...I am sure that your good deeds, far outweigh those of Mother Theresa... afterall, you make people laugh and laughter is the most important medicine in the world. So, you see...you have probably healed a lot of souls in your time...don't worry, Mr. Toe...they'll let you in but not until you send me the picture you promised me!  ~heavenly hugsLyra |
