Heaven
Peter Blowfield, Age 10

Heaven, Heaven, what does it mean?
Is it a giant recycling machine?
People go up, people come down
When people are old
They go through God’s machine
That crushes and pounds

But don’t be afraid
Of God’s machines
Be grateful, be keen
This will not damage the body
But increase the soul
So please don’t be scared
About the recycling machine in the sky
Learn about heaven
And you will fly
(at least you don’t have to moan about
getting old)
