Heaven by Jason Mitchell

Today I bought the Big Issue, as I often do.
Today I told the truth, and protected a loved one from it.
Today I killed a wasp and considered it’s life.
Today I saw death, and felt helpless.
Today I made someone laugh, because they needed to.
Today I wrote a letter to someone in pain.
Today I felt angry at someone’s infidelity.
Today I said no to someone bad.
Today I turned away from the wrong path.
Today a child called me his friend.
Today I smiled at the sun.

Today I held the man I love.
So I don’t get to go to heaven.
