Poem-Life
When we cross over, the main man won’t say
“So how many selfies you
taken today babe? “
Or “How much money did you
make?” Or “were you on TV?”
That’s not the reason we
were called into being see,
We’ll be asked things like
“What difference did you make to the world?”
And “What ripple of change
did you start?
How much Love did you put
out there, felt by another’s heart?
How many acts of kindness
and in words that left your lips?
That you took time to help
put someone back together
When they were broken and
in bits?
How many times did you
find time simply to help someone in need
Without fanfare or viral
video and YouTube Monetary greed?
Did you practice what you
preach, living by your truth
Or were Kindness and
Compassion just empty words
Spoken under a pointed
roof?
When the world was hit by Crisis
were you the first to close your door?
Or throw it open and embrace
the challenge to restore
All those needing comfort
in times of trouble and distress
Or did you turn the other
cheek, an act of selfishness?
Each day is a brand new
day, a chance to wipe the slate,
Even if your 100, if your
breathing it’s not too late
When we cross over we won’t
be asked about popularity, fame or success
We’ll be asked things like
“Did you make the most of your life?” and “Did you do your best?”
And did you? Will you be
able to answer Yes ?
