You Know What

You Know What
David J Walker

You know what
I’m gonna die
So
	Why not try 
everything
My Lord 
	On the smorgasbord
Of life
I’ll be the husband
	You be the wife

You know what 
I’m gonna live
	So why not give
Instead 
	Of taking
	Salvation 
in the making
with every gift 
given away
	a place to play
I’ll be the King 
	You be the Queen
Of everything 
in the between in 
Our kingdom on earth 
As it is in heaven 

You know what
There is only one yesterday
And
	No tomorrow
Today is the only day
	With no time left
	To borrow
