Lorna’s Poem

July 16, 2018 Ron Gordon 0
I was shocked, confused, bewildered As I entered Heaven’s door, Not by the beauty of it all, Nor the lights or its decor.   But it was the folks in Heaven Who made me sputter and gasp– The thieves, the liars, the sinners, The alcoholics and the trash.   There stood the kid from seventh grade Who swiped my lunch money twice. Next to him was my old neighbor Who never said anything nice.   Bob, who I always thought Was rotting away in hell, Was sitting pretty on cloud nine, Looking incredibly well.   I nudged Jesus, “What’s” the deal? I would love to hear Your take. How’d all these sinners get up here? God must’ve made a mistake.   ‘And why is everyone so quiet, So somber – give me a clue.’ ‘Hush, child,’ He said, ‘they’re all in shock. No one thought they’d be seeing you.’

The world is an intentional magnet for our total attention. Most of it is negative and anger provoking. A small daily reversal from the ugly and profane is provided by sites like ‘Bored Panda’ that emphasize beauty. The simple and largely positive Bored Panda website and short articles are a small daily escape.
