MY PRICE

well, it is a transformation I’ve been expecting.
MY PRICE
Perhaps only three months, God! Maybe five more at most?
Then for me,
It’s afternoon tea,
For eternity with The Holy Spirit and Your heavenly Host!
Oh well, at least I’m flying upwards, not falling down.
Hell’s much too hot,
With the skin I’ve got.
I don’t so much tan, as just peel and never go brown.
But hang on, God. You promised me plenty of time to finish my books.
What, I wasted it all?
But It wasn’t my call!
You said to never neglect anyone in need, did you never see the looks
Of pleading and begging that each poor sufferer and each sinner had?
All so full of doubt,
I helped them out,
How could I desert them, forever believing you could really be so bad
That you’d leave them all dejected, bereaved, destitute and bereft?
So I fed the hungry too,
Saying it was from You.
And they thanked You as we parted, for in their hearts Your love I’d left.
Dear God, is this honestly all the time I have got left here with You?
Did I spend all my few days
Teaching the poor to praise
And love You as as totally as You, and I myself, know I always do?
“No, Anton, that wasn’t all you spent your leisure, pleasure and free time on,
Remember Nicole, Lucia, Rita, Sue,
And lovely Nguyen Ouanh Anh too?
I forgive you. But they took up your time. I’m so sorry, but I’m afraid it’s gone!”

That’s odd – I clicked ‘like’ on this post, and commented – but, unless I’m mistaken, you’ve edited it, or perhaps trashed and re-written it?
While you are drinking tea, I will be missing you. Jane xxx

It was rewritten a bit, Jane, but I had to warn people in case I don’t get a miracle cure 🙂 i still hope & pray Christmass will come again. You may appreciate why if you read my blog ‘purgatory’. I will love being missed, thanks.xx Anton

How many miracles can one person be allowed? I hope you haven’t reached your allotted number. If you have, Heaven’s gain will be Earth’s sad loss.
I don’t think you’ll have any opinion on being missed, when it comes to it. You’ll be too busy enjoying your exalted state, and that’s fine 🙂 xx Jane.

My comment is flawed – I meant to say if your son told you that he’d leave your house forever unless you let her in, would you turn them both away? Bear in mind she’s a good woman – she just doesn’t yet know you well enough to realise how wonderful you are. Except that you’re not so wonderful if you’re prepared to disown your son rather than give her a chance to get to know you. Oh, dear, this is getting a bit convoluted 🙂 xxx Jane
