Knocking On Heavens Door

A child is trying to get into heaven and she is knocking on heavens door.

I was knocking on heavens door When along came a bandit "I am going to heaven," I said  real candid "Nothings in heaven" replied he "Come with me and you will see I have so much more You'll see, I have galore" "Oh, no thank you," I replied "I like standing here knocking," I said in chid I was knocking on heavens door I soon got so tired so I sat on the floor Then I heard music from inside I started knocking again with pride I was knocking on heavens door Listening to the music sitting on the floor Soon an Elephant came out  "It's heavenly inside," he said,  through his snout. "Yes, I know, That is why I am knocking" "That is good," he replied, Just don't do to much talking. "You see," He began, "When people talk they soon forget to knock" "And another thing," He began, "Trouble always follows" When people get to talking, they soon begin to wallow" He then went back inside and I began to cry "What are you crying about," said a turtle "I am glad to meet you," he said, "My name is  Mr. Purtle. "So happy to meet you dear,"  I tried to say with cheer Then he told me all about himself "I am kind'a small like an elf, but I'd love to have chat  Please pull up a mat." "OK," I said, "Chatting is fine. Not to much talking though, I need to walk the line" Soon our innocent chatting became wild gossip And my eyes and ears were open to all that he tossed up. Wild people soon showed up at the door They began crying, "Please say more, Please say more" We must of talked till dawn At this point heavens curtains were drawn I wanted to knock on heavens door  So I pleaded, "Stop stop, please no more I could no longer see heavens door But soon the master Jesus came knocking on my door I opened for him And he came in He said, "I saw you knocking on heavens door but you didn't have any wedding clothes to come in and explore Then he dressed me in a beautiful robe and put a ring on my finger Then he said, "Stay here awhile show love and linger," People need to open up the door of their heart And I will give them wedding clothes to start Soon they will come in my door And will no longer be crying on the floor.

"Stay here awhile show love and linger,"
People need to open up the door of their heart
And I will give them wedding clothes to start
Soon they will come in my door
And will no longer be crying on the floor."

Whimsical and flowing with a humorous touch, I love it! The meaning had to be thought through so this makes for a great write. Thanks for sharing.
