When you awaken one day ... a way over there
At the end of the Valley of the Shadow of death
When opportunity for obedience, love and care
Have passed away with your last fleeting breath
All you ever accomplished or failed to do
Is now lost in the past and forever forgotten
Except by those few who really knew you
And He by whom you were once begotten
Life was given and flew to its lonely, final end
What is done is done, sealed in God's eternal scroll
Too late to forgive, repent, amend or pretend
So love, serve and walk with Christ, as your life's goal
For there will never be another time or chance to do so. RB
"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day
of the LORD is near in the valley of decision." Joel 3:14.
