To tell Saint Peter

If I ever ate watermelon 

on the side of the road 

or had Coco Frio 

along the path 

under the towering trees 

of the rainforest 

if I ever held a grandbaby 

until they laughed 

or had a puppy dog 

snuggled up in my lap 

if I ever swim in the spring 

so clear you could see 

the scales on the little fish 

glistening in the sunlight 

And I have done all these things 

most more than once 

so if I was to die tomorrow 

don’t feel sorry for me 

because I have lived a better life 

than anyone deserves 

and I would tell to Saint Peter 

send me where you will 

for I have been to heaven 

in fact I have lived there 

my entire life.
