| The Final Inspection
The Marine stood and faced God Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward Marine, How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?"
The Marine squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent, Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here,
They never wanted me around Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod
As the Marine waited quietly, For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward Marine, You've borne your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell."
To all that serve

| My sincere condolences to all those family, friends and service members who lost John from their lives. Although I did not personally know him, I found his story on Military Times Fallen Heros when searching for fallen soldiers from my hometown to honor this Memorial Day. I was moved by John's story, so I as I participate at a Carry The Load walk in Jacksonville, FL I will carry John's picture and his story with me.
His memory lives on, touching strangers miles away! If you have any additional pictures or stories of John's life you'd like me to include in my back pack that day, please send to susanpowell98@gmail.com. Post A Condolence Light A Candle Here |
