Heaven.

email from JKS Weerasekara. Perhaps, The Best Poem Ever..... Its more than a poem... The truth ! No offense intended to any denomination please ... PERHAPS THE BEST POEM IN THE WORLD  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 neighbour   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 Saint Peter, '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.'
