My own checklist of questions
A chapter in the book Poems to Publish
When My Time Has Run Out
At the end of the day, do I know that I've done
Everything that I could, not to hurt anyone
Did I gossip at all, would my parents be proud
Have I held onto hurt, more than should be allowed
Did I welcome someone, try to show them the ropes
Or just think of myself, try to crush all their hopes
When I saw souls were lost, did I help them to find
Did I do all I could, to help their peace of mind
The temptation is high, I don't have what it takes
I'm so thankful Jesus, died for all my mistakes
Did I let the anger, make me hateful and mean
Did I choose forgiveness, try to wipe the slate clean
Have I given enough, where I most need to give
Have I lived in a way, that I know I should live
Do I give compassion, to those needing the love
Have I prayed when I should, to my Lord up above
I try hard not to judge, I know it's not my place
I just can't be removed from His Sweet loving Grace
Have I been good enough, am I still at a loss
Do I fully accept what He did on the cross
When it's all said and done, has my name been engraved
So when I leave this earth, will I know I've been saved
When I look at my life, see what it’s been about
Do I koow where I’ll be, when my time has run out
