What If

Author Dana Redricks 
February 4, 2019 

What if was your last day
and you had to say goodbye 
Would be ready to meet 
your maker on your bye and by
As you cross the Jordan to
the shore 
The life we live is nothing 
more than a vapor compared to our eternity 
Will you be headed towards 
the promise land where streets are paved with gold
or choose the other place where you will tormented and night
Will you turn a deaf ear to God's soft  whisper an offer of eternal 
Life is only a whisper here today and gone tomorrow 
Time is something we do not
have to waste; when it's gone it's gone 
Time is something w noe cannot borrow 
What has been given by God is what we have  
Seek the Lord while you
 can for tomorrow might 
be too late

I don't know how people choose "otherwise!" The wonderful bye and by, I wish to go. I will cry at those who fall and smile at those who go...into sweet eternity!
