579. Early and late

```

I went to see God

An hour early.

He welcomed me

And

Shook hands with me.

I went to see God

Two hours early.

He welcomed me

And

Embraced me.

I went to see God

Three hours early.

He welcomed me

And

Made me sit on His

Transcendental Throne.

I went to see God

A minute late.

He thoughtfully hesitated to welcome me.

I went to see God

Two minutes late.

He simply ignored my arrival.

I went to see God

Three minutes late.

He refused to open the door.
