God Doesn't Do Credit Checks

Bad credit, good credit, all can apply.

Last earthly light, leaves your human eye.

Resting in peace you approach the gate.

Will you get in or is hell your fate?

Let us see what you have done.

The angels checklist has begun,

honest and true-check

good husband/wife-check

wonderful parent-check

good to fellow man-check

broke-does not apply

so when the application is filled out,

Remember what life was really about.

The people we love,raise and learn to cherish.

That's it for God's checklist when we perish.

I really like this one, Holly. I hope that the checklist includes the word "tried" before each of the items on the checklist, or I'm doomed for certain. Nice work!

Well crafted.

I like your approach to this important question. Giving it to us from a different angle. An angle that resonated with me. Thank you, for sharing this.
