♥ - Hopeless Romantic - ♥

 As I was walking Down life's highway 
Many years ago,

I came upon a Sign that read

Heavens Grocery Store..

When I got a Little closer

The doors swung Open wide

And when I came To myself

I was standing Inside..

I saw a host of Angels.

They were  Standing everywhere

One handed me a Basket

And said 'My Child shop with care..'

Everything a Human needed

Was in that Grocery store

And what you Could not carry

You could come Back for more

First I got some Patience.

Love was in that Same row.

Further down was Understanding,

You need that Everywhere you go..

I got a box or Two of Wisdom 

And Faith a bag Or two.

And Charity of Course

I would need some

Of that too..

I couldn't miss The Holy Ghost

It was all over The place.

And then some Strength

And Courage to 

Help me run this race.

My basket was Getting full

But I remembered I needed Grace,

And then I chose Salvation for

Salvation was for Free

I tried to get Enough of that to do

For you and me..

Then I started to The counter

To pay my grocery Bill,

For I thought I Had everything

To do the Masters Will.

As I went up the Aisle

I saw Prayer and Put that in, 

For I knew when I Stepped outside

I would run into Sin.

Peace and Joy Were plentiful,

The last things On the shelf.

Song and Praise Were hanging near

So I just helped Myself. 

Then I said to The angel

'Now how much do I owe?'

He smiled and Said

'Just take them Everywhere you go.'

Again I asked 'Really now,

How much do I Owe?'

'My child' he Said

 'God paid your bill A long,

 long time Ago.'
