"All the way to grandma's house,
I stayed on the narrow path
But my brother wandered off,
Deep into the wood.

Bitten twice by rattle snakes,
Tangled up in poison oak,
He fell down and broke his legs,
Into a great ravine.

When I arrived at grandma's house,
She had made us tea and cake.
She asked me where my brother was,
I said I don't know and ate.

When I get to Heaven,
I'll be greeted warmly,
Surrounded by the angels
As Jesus takes my hand.
I'll receive a mansion,
On the river Jordan,
And a crown of diamonds
For a race well run.

I won't ever lock my doors,
I will trust my neighbors,
Confident that they deserve
To be there in Heaven, too."
