photoPeople don't believe me that I am shy face-2-face, despite being a right cheeky monkey on some Forums. Orginally from the West Country, but transplanted to Reading in early 90s. Joined OUT for both Gay Male & Female friends, to break the feelings of isolation after the breakup of a long relationship.

I was sent this poem by a friend who heard that I had recently been made redundant from the Local Authority that I worked for for 15 years. I don't know who is the author of it. It was lifted my spirits this evening and I thought I would share with fellow OUTers, especially those who work for local authorities

Last night as I lay sleeping

I died or so it seemed,

Then I went to heaven

But only in my dream

Up there St Peter met me

Standing at the pearly gates,

He said, "I must check your record

Please stand here and wait."

He turned and said "Your record

Is covered with terrible flaws,

On earth I see you rallied

For every losing cause."

I see that you drank alcohol

And smoked and used drugs too,

Fact is, you've done everything

A good person should never do.

We can't have people like you up here

Your life was full of sin,

Then he read the last of my record

Took my hand and said "Come in."

He led me up to the big boss,

Said, "Take her in and treat her well",

She used to work for the Council

She's done her time in hell"
