To The Last Penny
What An Honor
What an honor to receive the key to the city
The honor the limelight the prestige
These honors are usually given for
Great deeds such as finding a way to feed all the poor
Now think about the Apostles those great twelve men
To whom Jesus gave the keys to Heaven
What honor did they receive for this great award
The answer seems remarkably awkward
For as you know this world is not our final place
It’s a learning facility where we learn to face
Many trials and tribulations
Much change and many emotions
So what did our Twelve Apostles receive
Why martyrdom and suffering did they achieve
To the ignorant of this world who refused to listen to heed or to understand it is their lament
They who considered this treatment horrific and deserved punishment
But the Twelve they knew and these hardships they revered
The sufferings that were ordered
For they knew where this would lead
To the most wonderful place ever desired
From this treatment they were destined for Heaven eternally
And if we too listen and follow as they did so wonderfully
We too have the opportunity to enter in Our Lord’s Heavenly Glory
Where we will be forever in complete joy and harmony
Read and proclaim His Word
Daily through your actions and tongue to the world
Do always His Will and all He requires without question
And you have a great chance to end up in Heaven
Amen
