See You Next Week! The Lee County Ledger, Thursday, October 25,2001 - Page 3A 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. ” Submitted by a Lee County Soldier Heating Assistance Program Will Start Thursday, November 1 Georgia's regular Energy Assis tance Program will open on No vember 1,2001, for homebound and elderly households.
