JUST FOR SUNDAY: 1/15/12

Sometimes we find poems better able to communicate than prose. The following one might be categorized as such. The message is an important one for us seniors to consider: Which side of this picture would I find myself?
SURPRISE IN HEAVEN!
I dreamt death came the other night,
And Heaven’s gates swung wide.
An angel with a halo bright
Ushered me inside.
And there, to my astonishment
Stood folks I’d judged and labeled
As quite unfit, of little worth
And spiritually disabled.
Indignant words rose to my lips,
But never were set free.
For every face showed stunned surprise.
No one expected me!
