It was a wild ride, today from yesterday.
I made mistakes along the way,
I smoked, I stole, I lied, I drank.
So when I went to heavens gate,
I expected only solemn look,
And for St. Pete to close the book.
Was to my surprise to find,
A cheerful grin and words so kind!
I apologized for being late, explained my shame,
For my mistakes.
“We know you’ve sinned son, and that’s just fine!”
“Because we know you always tried,
Trust me, you arrived in time!
We’ve set the tables, poured the wine!
So come on in son, have a seat.
There’s rest here for your weary feet.”
