When my sojourn through this time and space

is called to an end, my triune God will not ask me,

“Why were you not Moses or Mother Teresa?”

Nor will I be asked,

“Why were you not more like your mother, or your sister?”

I will not even be asked,

“Why were you not your neighbor, or your friend?”

I will be asked,

“Why were you not Amy?”
