Will There Be A Heaven? Poem by Philip Carter

Will there be a heaven
For when my life does end
Will the God above me
An angel for me send?
Do I deserve to go there?
Have I earned my place?
When I reach the pearly gates
Is there a smile on St. Peter's face?
Will my family be there?
To greet me with smiles of joy
Or turn around and shun me
Like I was naughty boy
I've lived my life the best I can
I've never wished others ill
Have I done some misdemeanour?
In the past that's with me still
I could go down to the church
And ask forgiveness for each sin
I will then be cleansed for what I've done
And a new lot I can begin
I wasn't much for going to church
And the preaching that they do
But I do believe there's something there
Watching over me and you.
