Heads-up, girl:

Take your first finger and hold

it close to your indelible thumb.

The space in between is how

long our lives are; then comes

eternity: Heaven or the Abyss

(yes, dear, Purgatory is true as

the Son Shining upon humanity).

And who decides which realm?

WEE, ourselves and our eyes...

according to the deeds WEE have

accomplished in our WEE lifetime.
