 RM> Something that got forwarded to me..
 RM> Figured I'd pass it on to any war vets out there
 RM> for Remembrance Day.

 RM> The Final Inspection

 RM> The soldier stood and faced God,
 RM> Which must always come to pass.
 RM> He hoped his shoes were shining,
 RM> Just as brightly as his brass.

 RM> 'Step forward now, you soldier,
 RM> How shall I deal with you ?
 RM> Have you always turned the other cheek ?
 RM> To My Church have you been true?'

 RM> The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
 RM> 'No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
 RM> Because those of us who carry guns,
 RM> Can't always be a saint.

 RM> I've had to work most Sundays,
 RM> And at times my talk was tough.
 RM> And sometimes I've been violent,
 RM> Because the world is awfully rough.

 RM> But, I never took a penny,
 RM> That wasn't mine to keep...
 RM> Though I worked a lot of overtime,
 RM> When the bills got just too steep.

 RM> And I never passed a cry for help,
 RM> Though at times I shook with fear..
 RM> And sometimes, God, forgive me,
 RM> I've wept unmanly tears.

 RM> I know I don't deserve a place,
 RM> Among the people here.
 RM> They never wanted me around,
 RM> Except to calm their fears.

 RM> If you've a place for me here, Lord,
 RM> It needn't be so grand.
 RM> I never expected or had too much,
 RM> But if you don't, I'll understand.

 RM> There was a silence all around the throne,
 RM> Where the saints had often trod.
 RM> As the soldier waited quietly,
 RM> For the judgment of his God.

 RM> 'Step forward now, you soldier,
 RM> You've borne your burdens well.
 RM> Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
 RM> You've done your time in Hell.'
