A dear friend sent me this. I thought it was worth sharing too.
It is titled the Best Poem In The World. And here it is.......

BEST POEM IN THE WORLD

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.

Bob, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.

'And why is everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said,
'They're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.'

JUDGE NOT!!

God is good. He paid the price.

You are right Pine this IS the best poem in the world
It is by far better than any I have wrote, and I have copied it and will include it in my book IF I ever put it together as the best one that I never wrote
I would like it more if it was titled "Judge not!!" though
Do you have any info on who wrote it?
Just in case I would put it in a book I would for sure want to give credit where it is due, if not that's fine I would just title it author unknown
Awesome though, thanks for sharing

I don't know the author.
