The Gathering

The Gathering

in your last moment of life what will you do
think of your past and all you’ve been through
will those sixty seconds be long or short
possibly stand tall or wish to abort
maybe you will see lost family and friends
spend a few seconds to try and make amends
will you look for a hole or even a rock
think of your money or maybe some stock
will you look up and beg for a second chance
or will you be ready and break out in dance
whatever you choose, no matter the case
when you look up you will see his face

A powerful write. Many think they can take it with them. No banks on the other side. When we see His face it will be too late to do good. Have a blessed weekend writing away................

They say your life flashes by in your final moments, and your judgement will be on how you've lived your life, for many it will be too late to be sorry. Thought provoking verse Mark, hope you're well. Tom
