Final Breath

Fatal Breath There is a time in life I believe That comes with imminent death A realization of something more As you approach your final breath You think of all the things You have done while alive and well And some are not so good And could lead you straight to hell Of course you have done some good things And they will be weighed and measured And the times you really went out of your way Well those times will surely be treasured You remember all the times The good, the bad, and the best They all go flashing through your mind As you face eternal rest So many things over the years You now contemplate with sorrow All the things you should have done Would clearly get done …Tomorrow Well they didn’t get done And there is only you to blame But you have one more choice to make It will keep you out of the flame Turn your eyes towards heaven And our Lord’s saving Grace Ask forgiveness of all your sins Before you leave this sinful place Then you will walk the streets of gold And have no more fear of death Because you asked to be forgiven Before that last final breath.
