The Final Inspection
The soldier stood and faced his God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as brightly 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 squared his shoulders and said.
“No Lord, I guess I ain’t
Because those of us who carry guns
Can’t always be a saint.
I’ve had to work most Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I’ve been violent
Because the world is awfully rough.
But I never took a penny
That wasn’t mine to keep ...
Though I’ve worked a lot of overtime
When the bills just got to steep
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears,
I know I don’t deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to claim their fears.
If you have a place for me here, Lord,
It needn’t be so grand,
I never expected nor had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand”
There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the soldier waited quietly
For the judgement of his God.
“Step forward now, you soldier,
You’ve borne your burden well
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in Hell. ”
