The Final Inspection<br />
<br />
The Marine stood and faced God, which must always come to pass.<br />
<br />
He hoped his shoes were shining, just as brightly as his brass. <br />
<br />
"Step forward now Marine. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?"<br />
<br />
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said,<br />
<br />
"No lord I guess I ain't' 'cause those of us who carry guns can't always be a saint.<br />
<br />
But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep...<br />
<br />
Though I worked alot of overtime when the bills got just to steep.<br />
<br />
And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear.<br />
<br />
And sometimes, God, forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. <br />
<br />
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. <br />
<br />
They never wanted me around, except to calm their fears.<br />
<br />
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. <br />
<br />
I've never expected or had to much, But if you don't, I'll understand."<br />
<br />
There was silence all around the throne, where Saints had often trod. <br />
<br />
As the Marine waited quietly, for the judgement of his God.<br />
<br />
"Step forward now, you Marine, you've borne your burdens well.<br />
<br />
Walk Peacefully on heavens streets, you've done your time in hell."<br />
