7. God's first secret

```

Do you know

What God told me the other day?

I am telling you

In top secrecy.

If you breathe a word to God

I shall never tell you anything again.

Remember, be careful!

Needless to say,

God has shared with me

Millions of His sacred secrets.

Now I shall share with you

His first secret:

At the end of your journey’s close

Your epitaph will read

‘An unfulfilled tear of God’;

My epitaph will read

‘A fulfilled smile of God.’

Remember, be careful!

If you breathe a word to God

I shall not share anything else with you;

No, not even the precise hour

of your God-realisation

Which God told me

Only this morning

In top secrecy.
