It's not too late to prepare
...Until it is.
It's not too late to tell that loved one
about the Lord
...Until it is.
It is not too late to love others,
and do good,
and be the light
we've always dreamed we could be
...Until it is.
Life and death
pass without warning.
So many crumpled people,
hugging the ground,
unaware devastation was coming,
to their part of the world
...Until it did.
Don't let this stop us though,
from doing the most important thing
in our own eyes.
God forgive me,
and have mercy upon me,
and knowing that there will
always be tomorrow
...Until there's not.
This poem still speaks to me as loudly as when I first wrote it. Procrastination has been part of my life, and I am now trying not to put things off until the tomorrow that never comes. Please help me Lord to be quick to follow your promptings, so I can live with joy at fulfilled assignments rather than regret at ones I've missed.
