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.
