Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?"<BR/><BR/>The soldier squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I haven’t, because those of us who carry guns, Can't always be a saint.<BR/><BR/>I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was tough. And sometimes I've been violent, because the world is awfully rough.<BR/><BR/>But, I never took a penny, that wasn't mine to keep...<BR/><BR/>Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got just too steep.<BR/><BR/>And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear. 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. I never expected or had too much, but if you don't, I'll understand."<BR/><BR/>There was a silence all around the throne, where the saints had often trod. As the soldier waited quietly for the judgment of his God.<BR/><BR/>"Step forward now, you soldier, you’ve borne your burdens well. Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets; you’ve done your time in Hell."<BR/><BR/>~Author Unknown~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955273524757178757.post-36606400612738660812008-11-22T11:40:00.000+02:002008-11-22T11:40:00.000+02:00I know...I have read several claims regarding wher...I know...I have read several claims regarding where it came from.
