I was lost; My life a mess, and I needed a correction, Put ‘Heaven’ in my G.P.S., An inside voice gave me directions: “Make a legal U-Turn right away You’re on shaky ground If you want to go to Heaven You have to turn yourself around. First take Forgiveness Freeway, Then (and this part might be hard) Read all the signs and billboards On Bible Boulevard. At the corner of Divine and Vine There will be a round-about Stop and yield the right of way Learn what patience is about. There will be hills and mountains Compassion Pass should get you through Then go a hundred thousand miles On Thankful Avenue. Turn right on Straight and Narrow Road Ignore Temptation Trails They only serve to keep you lost And take the wind out of your sails. Merge onto Heaven’s Highway It’s a very scenic road Slow down and take some pictures For by now you’re growing old. You’ll never know your ETA, And you shouldn’t even care Destination ‘Pearly Gates’ ahead - God will tell you when you’re there.” Phil Lindsey 5/29/15

Destination: Pearly Gates
