God Doesn't Do Credit Checks

Bad credit, good credit, all can apply.

Last earthly light, leaves your human eye.

Resting in peace you approach the gate.

Will you get in or is hell your fate?

Let us see what you have done.

The angels checklist has begun,

honest and true-check

good husband/wife-check

wonderful parent-check

good to fellow man-check

broke-does not apply

so when the application is filled out,

Remember what life was really about.

The people we love,raise and learn to cherish.

That's it for God's checklist when we perish.

'o when the application is filled out, ~ Remember what life was really about. ~ The people we love,raise and learn to cherish.~ That's it for God's checklist when we perish.'... Some delicious meter there.

This near erupts with emotions, Holly: i smiled, nodded, briefly nodded, shook head, shrugged a perhaps.. grinned and then, finally, felt like applauding! What you finally add is first class wisdom, charity and all. What we give through life is nowhere near what we leave behind ] is best to do the gentle, kind and loving.. for sure. Am trying!!!

On the day that you visit heaven may it be "Holly Holly in come free "Just as it was in childhood

Yes indeed, the size of a bank balance is irrelevant come judgment day!

A fine, praiseworthy piece of platonic poetry, splendid indeed Holly !

There cannot a human on this planet that has not wondered about the next level. Love the thought of that checklist.

Very clever dear Holly....but that's what confession is for. ;)

What is your legacy? What will people remember us by? Loving and willing to give time, an ear, a shoulder, maybe something as simple as an embrace? Have we built up those around us or tore them down? But after all is said and done and the wick has done gone out the question is, where does your heart lay? We can leave a great legacy not grounded in material goods and say how do you do to our neighbors, but if our heart is still not in the right place then we still haven't checked everything off the list. God bless Holly!

[Holly Mason]
