I had a room in heAven once

But I left the door open

and all the bugs got in.

In my room in heAven now

the door is closed.

My room in heAven

has been given to a stranger.

One who will keep out the bugs

I once let in.

So I tell my children

"Close the door

Keep out

the bugs"

Just in case

they ever get a room

in heAven.

to Sacha and Leigh - 1994 Victor Harbor South Australia - when life was simple
