This is a true story.

Couchiching Park


By Jenn Somers

Sitting under shelter
During a thunder strom
Two young boys and their granfather
Looking out at the pouring rain
The littlest one asked
"Grandpa, is God real?"
The grandfather nodded
"Yes" he whispered
Then Grandpa,"
The littlest one asked again
"Will I see God when I die?"
The grandfather nodded
"Yes" he whispered
"Grandpa?"
The oldest asked suddenly
"When we die
Does God pick up our souls and take them to Heaven?"
The grandfather nodded
"Yes" he whispered
"Grandpa?"
The youngest asked with more curiousity
"What will I be in my afterlife?"
The grandfather looked at the two boys
Then out at the pouring rain
And whispered
"Whatever you want to be"
