Such a Christian movie,
This classic story
Of a man granted
An unwanted eternity.
Such a realistic journey,
From confusion
To hedonism and immorality
To wanting to bed the object of his desire,
Who rejects him . . . again and again,
Seeing how selfish he is.
In despair, he tries to kill himself,
But always wakes up again.
Confiding in Rita,
She asks, “This is how you choose to spend eternity?”
Tossing cards into a hat,
Learning trivia about the people around?
And so he turns over a new leaf:
Saving lives, helping old women in distress,
Taking up the piano,
Ice sculpting.
And it is only then, when he finds enjoyment
In life without Rita,
In being of service and in being kind
That his endless day ends to a new day.
