What if Heaven is Like

Harry C. Craft III 1959 (Phoenix, Arizona)

Rhymed
What if Heaven is like Santa Claus
and it really doesn’t exist
will anyone care that I was here
will all the soldiers have died in vain
what about all the wars that have been fought
were they all for naught?

What if Heaven is like the Easter Bunny
and it really doesn’t exist
I know it’s kind of funny
but what will they tell us then?

What if Heaven is like the tooth fairy
and it really doesn’t exist
will I still have this burden to carry
will it even matter whom I marry?

What if Heaven is like my dreams
and it really doesn’t exist
or at least that’s the way it seems
is this something we should persist
or can our conscience even resist?
