If I Die Tonight Poem by Craig Mize

If I Die Tonight

Rating: 5.0


If I die tonight will you cry?
Would you mourn my death,
Celebrate my life or vise versa?
How would I be remembered
Would it be for the good that I did?
My caring ways and loving heart
Would the world politely forget
My questionable past, my sinful ways?
Or would they remember the darkness
The hurt and pain that I caused.
I wonder if this was it,
My last day on God's green earth
Would my finale destination be heaven
Or would I wake up in a fiery pit in hell?
Would I have time to pray to God
Ask him for forgiveness and repent.
Or would I replay my wrong doings
Over and over again like a scratched 45.
If I died tonight, would my soul live on
To be birthed into another body
So I could breathe God's breath again
Have a chance to life live once more
If only for one more day,
But only if I die tonight.

Would my finale destination be heaven Or would I wake up in a fiery pit in? .... //.... Like a person who has to migrate to another place for good, the protagonist has all kinds of thoughts splashing his mind. So many possibilities and fears lurking before him. Thanks for sharing this thought provoking work.
