I was walking down life’s highway a long time ago. One day I saw a sign that read `Heaven Grocery Store’.

As I got a little closer, the door came wide open, And when I came to myself, I was standing inside.

If tomorrow was the day I drew my last breath
And the sun that rose did not light my eyes…

For many years I cried and thought, why did God abandon me
I have read my Bible faithfully and prayed on bended knee

I am writing this to You to request a transfer to a desk job. I herewith present my reasons:

I began my career as a private, because of the intensity of the battle You have quickly moved me up in the ranks.

The falling rain dissolves into mist
and the thunder begins to die,
as the sporadic lightning fades
an arch of color pours from the sky.

I drank for joy and become wretched.
I drank to be sociable and become argumentative.

Angels are all around us,
Flying on wings so light;
They come to give us comfort
In the still hours of the night.

I got down on my knees,
And said a prayer for you today.
I asked for God to bless you,
And next to you he’d stay.

When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts…
God knows how hard you have tried.

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It’s a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
