If Heaven is a Real Place

 

I am not a cheater. I am not a fraud.
I am not a killer. No lies are ever jawed.
I’m not rude to strangers, family or friends.
If ever there’s a problem, I try to make amends.
I don’t have sex for money, only sex for love.
The things I do each day, are things that I’m proud of.
I don’t go to church on Sundays, or confess to God my sins.
I don’t say a prayer each morning before my day begins.

I believe in science. I believe in facts.
I don’t believe in any of the spiritual “contracts.”

I am a good person, and I lead a good life,
but death will only bring upon me damnation and strife?
If God is a true being, who’s done all that is perceived,
wouldn’t he have made me so that I would just believe?
Curious and truth-seeking is how I live each day,
but if there IS a God, HE made me this way.
So when that one day comes, when the life in me abates,
I would think that God would let me in the pearly gates.

No one being is perfect, I’m certainly not,
but if Heaven is a real place, I think I’ll deserve a spot.
