A GOOD LIFE

When God calls, we’ll be protected
Even if….it’s unexpected
He has a plan …. though unaware
Not ours to question, if it’s fair. 

Could be sudden, perhaps an illness
Whatever fate , we’ll seek forgiveness
Some quite old, some  very young
Some will be sad, the day is done.

When it’s time, he’ll call us home
May send an angel, won’t be alone
We’ll know such jubilation
We’ll rejoice…. we’re his creation.

A short walk through heaven’s gate
A note of thanks for this our fate
A promise kept  for a good life
For trying hard to do what’s  right.

A kind word, a thoughtful gesture
A halt of anger,  before it festers
A word of hope …. for the downtrodden
Those acts of kindness, are not forgotten.
