If I Am to Die Tomorrow

If I am to die tomorrow

I will not cry of my short life

Nor wail for an extension

If I am to die tomorrow

I will be jubilant of time not wasted

Given that I gave my all

Worked on my talents

And yearned to know Christ

But…

Have I sorted out issues with Tom?

Am I at peace with Jane?

Have I strived to harmonize the mayhem

Amongst my own family members?

Will I die with strings attached?

To hatred, anger and abomination?

Why does forgiveness seem a sweet word?

But a big puzzle putting it to action?

If I am to die tomorrow

Will I be free from the yoke?

That pulls me to hell?
