Absolutely love this, and so true ❤️
“Hello! "From me in heaven
As you all know, I've died.
To stay down there amongst you lot
Well, I really really tried
But Him up there sent a hit man
Who dragged me from my bed
And instead of taking me below
I've landed here instead.
It happened all so suddenly
While I was sound asleep
Dreaming of my doggie friends,
My pigs, my goats and sheep.
I got dropped outside these shiny gates
And told to ring the bell
(I was glad I wore my jimjams
And my breath it didn't smell!)
I got ushered in by Peter
(I think that was his name)
And I asked him what the matter was
And just what was his game.
"You'd better see the boss" he said
And quickly disappeared
Leaving me confronted by
An old guy with a beard.
This guy produced a glass of wine
And gave me a strange nod
"I am known by many names
But you can call me God.
Now, we have up here a vacancy
Impossible to fill
But someone very close to you
Told me you'd fit the bill".
I stared at him with open gob
Then guzzled down the bevy
"I'll help you if I can" I said
"As long as it's not heavy!"
"There is a door beside the gate
Through which all creatures pass"
And staring back I saw a sight
Which made me drop my glass
T'was Murphy standing, arms outstretched
My mind was all afluster
For standing right beside my love
Was Bullseye, Olg and Buster.
"You're needed here to help these pets"
My Murphy did advise
And seeing my loved ones once again
Brought tears to my eyes.
"Ahem, may I continue please?"
This man named God then spoke
"These animals need someone kind
And we think you're the bloke
To wait beside this special door
Let those approach come through it
And help each one dispell their fear".
"That's it!" said I "Let's do it!!"
So here I am with Murph and dogs
Putting creatures at their ease
A job which gives me so much joy
And really is a breeze.
We spoil them when they come to us
With treats from out the fridge
Then when we know they're ready
We help them cross the Bridge.
So stop the sadness that you hold.
Don't let those teardrops fall.
For I'm here in my element
With heavenly love
