Poem based on Matthew 20:1-16 The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

And I will be taken up into the highest heaven

And from there…..

I will get to look down

(each received)

On all those Johnny come lately’s

In this game of heaven

And hell

I won

(labored under the burden)

Or at least came out on top

It was tough

Not much fun

But boy oh boy

Will it be worth it in the end

There is an end

Isn’t there?

Out there somewhere

An end

That will make it all worth while

The reward

Consummate upon my performance

Better than most I might add

(are you envious)

Grace?

(because I am generous)

I earned it????

(the last)

The kingdom of God

(be)

Is

At

(first)
