"THE LAST INSPECTION"
The soldier stood and faced GOD, wich must always come to pass.
He hope his shoes were as shining just as his brass.
" Step forward now, you soldier, how shall i deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek, to my church have you been true?"
The soldier square his shoulders and said, " No, LORD, I guess I aint 'cause those of us who carry gun's can't always be a saint. Ive had to work most sunday's LORD, and at times my talk's be tough. And, well , sometimes Ive been violent 'cause the world is awfully tough. But I never took a penny that was'nt mine to keep and, GOD, I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just got to deep, and I never passed a cry for help though at times I shook with fear, and some times, GOD forgive me, Ive wept manly tears. I know I dont deserve a place among the people here that never really wanted me around except to calm their fear's. If you've a place for me here, LORD, it need'nt be so grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don't , I'll inderstand"
There was a silence all around the throne where the saints had often trod as the soldier waited for the judment of his GOD.
"Step forward now: you soldier, you've burn your burden's well. Walk peacefully on Heaven's street's. YOU'VE DONE YOUR TIME IN HELL"........(aurthur, unknown) rest in peace to all my brothers in arm that have fallen... ill see you in heaven....
