note: Following today's post, I will take my usual holiday break. I'll be back in January with a brand new series. Today's post is a snatch of poetry. Between blog series, I like to throw some in. This particular piece was written when I was sixteen. I'm a different man now than I was then in many ways but I still have this same desire - I want my life to count for Christ.
If I Should Die Tonight
If I should die tonight
I wish in someone’s heart
Would be a bit of sadness
Because we had to part
If I should die tonight
I wish in someone’s eye
A tear or two would form and drop
Because I was not nigh
If I should die tonight
I wonder, would they care?
The ones my life has touched
Would they notice I’m not there?
If I should die tonight
Would someone cry for me?
Would I be missed on this old earth
Would some weep bitterly?
If I should die tonight
Would my presence be sore missed?
Have I influenced enough of them
Am I on someone’s list?
If I should die tonight
Would someone say, “Oh no,
A force for right is gone from sight”
Would someone care below?
Oh, God, please help me live
While under this sun’s light
That some would care that I had gone
If I should die tonight
