The Success Story of a Failure

I dreamed death came the other night

And Heaven’s gate swung wide.

With kindly grace an angel ushered me inside.

And there to my astonishment,

Stood folk I’d known on earth.

Some I judged and labeled as unfit—

Or of little worth.

Indignant words rose to my lips,

But never were set free.

For every face showed some surprise

No one expected me!
