All the way to grandma's house

I stayed on the narrow path

but my brother wandered off

deep into the wood

bitten twice by rattle snakes

tangled in the poison oak

he fell down and broke his legs

into a great ravine

when I arrived at grandma's house

she had made us tea and cake

she asked me where my brother was

I said I don't know and I ate



When I get to heaven

I'll be greeted warmly

surrounded by the angels

as jesus takes my hand

I'll receive a mansion

on the river Jordan

and a crow made of diamonds

for a race well run

I won't ever lock my doors

I will trust my neighbors

confident that they deserve

to be there in heaven, too
