The Final Beat

You know what's going to be weird You know what's going to be strange When this heart in me takes its final beat And from this place I pass away Will it be I know that I've died Will it be "POOF" you've arrived Will I struggle a bit with the jest of it Or will I take it all in stride Will there be someone there to meet me A marching band on hand to greet me Will St. Peter set me down gently And show My Good, my Bad, and my Ugly in a movie Or will I wake up to the burning flames With the demons all chanting my name Will I realize I've made a mistake And when I do will I regret it too late Or will I spend a few days off in Limbo With the angels calling out numbers for Bingo With Heaven above and Hell down below And me stuck here in the middle Just a few thoughts the closer I get To the ledge that is best known as death Maybe instead of me inkling in all this thinking I should do something about it instead... I actually have done something about it... I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior years back and can say it's the best decision I've ever made in life and for death! Although I'm still a mess I now have the hope of tomorrow.
