"Last night I dreamed I died, and stood outside those pearly gates. When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake; if they knew all the things I've done they'll never let me in. Then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again, they said... let me tell you a secret about a father's love, a secret that my Daddy said was just between us, You see Daddy's don't just love their children every now and then, it's a love without end, Amen."
