Me--Three Years from Now


Where will I be just three years down the road~~
here, self-sufficient, in my small abode?
a home where others see to all my needs,
where I but follow as another leads?
in Heaven, where I surely wouldn’t be
if Jesus hadn’t paid sin’s debt for me?

If I’m still here three years from now, I’ll write
of life and love. I’ll try not to sound trite.   
I’ll still take part in church activities,
each time I can depend upon my knees!
I’ll stay close to my folks and long-time friends.
and cherish them until my time here ends.
