**HEAVEN AND HELL! <br /> <br />During my early kindergarten days, <br />Our class teacher Mrs Hicks once did <br />tell, <br />A short story about heaven and hell! <br />After a man dies she had explained, - <br />He could not bend both his hands since his <br />elbow joints become stiff, <br />How could he ever possibly eat? ! <br />So in hell those selfish lot, who never did <br />perform any good deeds, <br />Sat staring at their food in front, which they <br />could never taste or eat! <br />But in heaven things were totally different! <br />With both hands outstretched those helpful <br />lot, <br />Who loved their fellow men and feared God, <br />Mixed the food on their neighbor’s plate, <br />With both their arms fully stretched, - <br />With the help of neighbor’s knife and fork! <br />They mixed the food and fed their friend, <br />Who sat facing him on the opposite end, <br />And his good neighbor also did likewise! <br />To help others in need, was the lesson our <br />teacher had taught, <br />I remember even to this day, - a lesson I <br />never forgot! <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> 05 Jun 09 <br />(This was way back in 1953, when I was in KG III!)<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heaven-and-hell-14/
