Take that scroll out of the hand of the angel.
Standing on sea and land.
Always there, our guardian angel.
But nothing can be planned.

At mass we were told about purgatory.
That people only escape from it with our prayers.
Is this  to be our story.
Before we can be taken upstairs.

But I wonder if this is right.
Would a merciful God make us wait.
I think I believe that when we die, we see the light.
We are never too early or too late.

But really who knows.
Maybe we’re just laid out in rows.

……

What’s purgatory
So are we all going there
Or can we skip it

……

See Apocalypse 10: 8-11
