Today's word is "hoosgow" ... Jail
Solitary
Some say only a very few of us will live this life
Well enough to find in the end, a heavenly home.
And that the rest deserve whatever they get ...
A trip to the eternal hoosgow, or worse.
But that is mistaking good deeds and laws,
For what really matters in the eyes of God ...
A gladdened attitude of heart that
Proves ones love and gratitude.
Do we really think that we can, holy
Bootstraps in hand, pull ourselves out
Of the mire we've created? Or should we
Instead accept the graceful hand extended?
