Larry Belt Poet Rhyme

33 and 1/2 Years

If you could know the day
That you were meant to die
The way you'd leave this world
And you knew the reason why?

Would you want to know
The years before your death
The very hour you'd close your eyes
And breathe your final breath?

Would that make you different
Or fill your heart with sorrow
If you knew your final hour
On earth would be tomorrow?

Would you ever be satisfied
The things you did was right
If you knew while you were sleeping
This would be your final night?

Would you die for a random stranger
That never knew your name
For Jesus knew of all these things 
Could you do the same?
