Though I’ve thought about it muchly,

I have no idea what Heaven is like,

or if I will be welcome there.

I’ve had hunches before,
but many of them proved wrong.

In my place of childhood,

a narrow village next a sluggish river,

a reassuring sign kept near its doorway,

Bothell Welcomes You
For A Day Or A Lifetime

makes me wonder

if,

when my turn comes,

despite the faithless life
and multitude of sin,

the word Eternity might

somehow be edited in.
