Before God My Head

Before God My Head While we grow older life starts to wane Fewer and fewer days in it will remain Before death occurs and to heaven go Just like God Himself had told us all so. Instead of living and getting by somehow We should start planning here and now And of our every entire life grab hold I am told before we become quite old. Right around corner and at road's bend Of the road one day we will reach an end And be thankful for all that God has done In heaven, will meet master and Holy One. Heaven to be is where we can hardly wait To arrive after going through Golden Gate Bridge into life that is eternal and infinite Constantly in motion and will never quit. We find ourselves finally willing to admit In judgment seat is where God does sit So even in the hereafter as well as now Before God heads and bodies should bow. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran

http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/life_and_love_of_lincoln_479554 Funom, Do a search through my poems for God and heaven. Of my over 1,100 poems only 100 of them never mentioned either heaven or God in them. The above one has never been committed on just like this one that you just commented on. Jim Horn
