What If
What If (c)
By
Michael Casey
What If you did things because it was the right thing to do
What If you held the door open for others
What If you smiled and said hello
What If you offered to carry the bags for somebody struggling
What If you prayed for others
What If you asked your dead mother in Heaven to help those on Earth
What If you shared water when there was a drought
What If you shared food when it was scarce
What If you gave a word of encouragement when Hope seemed lost
What If you played the fool when the air was too gloomy
What if you created laughter when dread was in the air
What if you asked for nothing for yourself
What if you put your family and friends first
What if you put your community first
What if you sought no reward
What if you built treasures in Heaven
What if this was your life
What if when Judgement came
Would you be welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven
Or would you be turned away at the gate
You spoke ill of the living, you spoke ill of the dead
You buried your talents in a field
You shared nothing but spite and malice
You had no Grace, no Love, no Humanity
You thought you had everything
You thought you had Power and Wealth
But death comes to all of us
And you were not ready
You had built a life of spite and hate in your own image
You had climbed the ladder and kicked it away
So now as you lay dying, your life ebbing away
What will you say?
God forgive me I knew not what I was doing
And what will be HIS reply?
A life should be lived to spread Grace and Hope
Or you will sink below, and be looking up
So live a life of grace and hope
And never never never be like...
