Javert went to sleep

And had a dream

He died and came to the pearly gate

He stood there with confidence

He never sinned

So there was nothing to do but wait

The door to heaven opened

and The Father came out to greet him

"Tell me son," the Father said

"One reason to let you in"

"Well Father," Javert said with pride

"I never went astray

"I followed your commandments

"Each and every day

"I never sinned

"I never wronged

"I never fell apart

"Father I am

"A man after Your own heart"

The Father looked at him

His face grew red with rage

"Are you kidding me son," He asked

"Did you even read my page?

"You spent your life condemning people

"Shaming them with pride

"You've never shown them what to do

"You never offered them as much as a guide

"You never lent a helping hand

"I should through you in hell

"But luckily I'm not you

"So you'll be sent back to Earth again

"And from now on you'll have to do your best

"To show them my love

"or you'll never pass my test"

Javert awoke with a start

He was so very scared

And vowed that each and every day

He'd help anyone be prepared

He would find the love he needed

With the heavenly Father's light

Thank you Father, he whispered

Proud now to be in the right
