The Final Inspestion

The Final Inspection
[/align]
[/align]The soldier stood and faced God, Which must always come to pass
[/align]He hoped his shoes were shining, just as brightly as his brass
[/align]"Step forward now, you Soldier, How shall I deal with you?
[/align]Have you always turned the other cheek?
[/align]To my Church have you been true?"
[/align]
[/align]The soldier squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint;
[/align]Because those of us who carry guns, can't always be a saint.
[/align]I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was tough,
[/align]And sometimes I've been violent, because the world is awfully rough.
[/align]
[/align]But, I've never took a penny, That wasn't mine to keep....
[/align]Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got just too steep,
[/align]And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear,
[/align]And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears.
[/align]I know I don't deserve a place, among the people here,
[/align]They never wanted me around, except to calm their fears.
[/align]If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand,
[/align]I never expected or had too much, but if you don't, I'll understand."
[/align]
[/align]There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod;
[/align]As the soldier waited quietly, For the judgment of his God,
[/align]"Step forward now, you Soldier, You've borne your burdens well,
[/align]Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell."
