Good Luck Poem

A two minute read.......  

            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 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?" 
             She smiled and said 
            
"Just take them everywhere you go." 

             Again I asked "Really now, 
             How much do I owe?" 
             "My child" she said,
             "God paid your bill a long long time ago." 

This poem has been sent to you with love and for good luck. 
Of course, good luck is just another way of saying blessings.
