The Corrections Officer stood and faced his God, which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, just as brightly as his brass. “Step forward now, Corrections Officer. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?” The Corrections Officer squared his shoulders and said, “No Lord, I guess I ain’t because those of us who walk a line can’t always be a saint” I’ve had to work most Sundays, and at times my work was rough, and sometimes I’ve been violent, because inside the was can be awful tough. But I never took a penny that wasn’t mine to keep, I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills were just to steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I’ shook with fear, and sometimes God forgive me I wept unmanly tears. I know I don’t deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around much, except to calm their fears. If you’ve a place for me here, Lord, it needn’t be so grand. I never expect or had much when I was a mortal man, but if you don’t I will understand. There was a silence all around the Throne, where the Saints often trod. As the Corrections officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God. “Step forward now, Corrections Officer, you’ve borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven’s streets, you’ve done your time in Hell.
