Where will you be when life is spent?
Where did you go, what did you do?
To what degree of clarity can you expound
upon your life that will make any sense.
What torrent waters did you cross?
What high mountains did you climb?
What friends did you make, what happiness
did you share, what was gained or loss?
It would be great if we could retrieve the time.
The time that we spent wishing, instead of doing.
How much hatred can one consume?
How many times are we going to ignore the signs?
Have you served as a beacon to the lost?
Have you extended yourself to those in need?
Have you put God first in your life.
For your actions, do you understand the cost.
Where will you be when your life is spent?
Did you travel to your favorite place?
Did you commit to your favorite dream?
With clarity, can you say that your life made sense.
