Poem Fragment

Donald Miller sent out a tweet today, and, Billy Collins style, I borrowed it and worked it into this fragment of a poem.


I'd like to think
when I get to heaven,
there'd be no more talk
of earthly treasures
or the inordinate 
measures of 
success.

Just a "well done"
or "good fight"
or "you made it, 
you're home"
will do--
as long as it's 
followed by,
"Beloved"
with no condition
on its use.
