**heaven And Hell! Poem by RAJ NANDY
**heaven And Hell!
**HEAVEN AND HELL!
During my early kindergarten days,
Our class teacher Mrs Hicks once did
tell,
A short story about heaven and hell!
After a man dies she had explained, -
He could not bend both his hands since his
elbow joints become stiff,
How could he ever possibly eat? !
So in hell those selfish lot, who never did
perform any good deeds,
Sat staring at their food in front, which they
could never taste or eat!
But in heaven things were totally different!
With both hands outstretched those helpful
lot,
Who loved their fellow men and feared God,
Mixed the food on their neighbor’s plate,
With both their arms fully stretched, -
With the help of neighbor’s knife and fork!
They mixed the food and fed their friend,
Who sat facing him on the opposite end,
And his good neighbor also did likewise!
To help others in need, was the lesson our
teacher had taught,
I remember even to this day, - a lesson I
never forgot!

(This was way back in 1953, when I was in KG III!)
So it's all about food, a game of give and take, anyway nice to know what one can expect in the hereafter.
Very nice...Thnx for sharing.....It is worth remembering....Regards...Brishti
Heaven and Hell have their relevance You still remember the teacher and the story Dear poet, those were the days of god fearing. These days, people have no fear, no ear They are after creating Heaven and Hell, both on earth Not knowing, how they will balance on this land. Good one.
