"The Carpenter"

There was once a master carpenter and he lived a good life
for he loved to work, building things of wood.
He was loved by his family,
by his sons and his daughters, his sisters and brother,
and especially by his parents.
He was loved by everyone who knew him.

And at the end of that good life when

it came time for him to transision
the old carpenter soared into the white light of death –
for the white light is where the good souls go to.

And the white light warmed him and
nurtured him and fed him great peace.

And when this carpenter arrived in Heaven
he was expected and immediately he was put to work:
for the Pearly Gates were a bit loose
and St. Peter's desk had a couple of drawers that stuck.
And before long the old master carpenter
began to build a new throne for God.
