Stunned Surprise

I dreamed death came to me one night,

And Heaven's gates flew open wide.

With kindly grace, St. Peter came and ushered me inside. 

There, to my astonishment, were friends I had known on Earth.

Some I had labeled as unfit and some of little worth. 

Indignant words flew to my lips;

Words I could not set free.

For every face showed stunned surprise -- No one expected ME!
