Final Inspection
A dead soldier was facing God,
For lives will always pass;
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward, now
How shall I deal with you;
Have you always turned the other cheek,
To my bible always true?"
The soldier snapped to attention,
"No, Lord, I guess I aint;
It seems that we who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint."
"I've had to work most Sundays,
My work was always rough;
At times I have been violent,
Because the job was tough."
"But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep;
Though I worked a lot of overitme,
When my bills became to steep."
"I never passed a cry for help,
But often shook with fears,
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I have wept unmanly tears."
"I know I don't deserve a place,
Among these good folks here;
They never wanted me around,
Unless a war was near."
"But if you have room for me,
It need not be too grand;
I never had, or needed much,
Im sure you understand."
A silence fell around that throne,
Where saints had often trod;
The dead soldier, with baited breath,
Feared judgement from his God.
"Step forward now, U.S. soldier,
You've borne your burdens well;
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done you're time in hell."

Again, tough to read because it's so true! I am sending these to my boyfriend in boot camp to give him some encouragement. We are Christians and sometimes he feels less of a man to help those in need and cry a few tears of loneliness in such a "manly and feelingless" place. God Bless those with kind hearts!

"It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew...
I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts..."
"ONE MORE DAY
ONE MORE TIME
ONE MORE SUNSET, MAYBE I'D BE SATISFIED
BUT THEN AGAIN
I KNOW WHAT IT WOULD DO
LEAVE ME WISHING STILL, FOR ONE MORE DAY WITH YOU"
"My dearest love its almost dawn
I’ve been lying here all night long
wondering where you might be
I saw your Mama and I showed her the ring
Man on the television said something
so I couldn’t sleep
But I’ll be allright
I’m just missing you
this is me kissing you
XX’s and OO’s"
