What Then??? by Janet Martin I think perhaps I'll go fishing today Or maybe I'll watch the Yankees play I could stay home and read a book Or go on-line and take a look Household duties kindly beckon I should do those first, I reckon I'll call a friend, go out for tea Or surf the wave of some great sea I'll teach my child to count to ten… Aint life a ride?!!!...but what then? I can climb mountains and stand on their peaks I can become famous by mere words that I speak I can ride tall waves, have a real grand time Be noted as brave for the walls that I climb I can be beautiful, young or old And focus on gleaning life's pastures of gold I can hoard all my pennies, a miserly fool I can gain great knowledge by staying in school I can be remembered for a while amongst men For some minor accomplishment, but what then? When the curtain falls on my life's final scene When my Maker calls and I hear my name When I stand at last as all men will do When my life is past at my final review When I bow before the Perfect Lamb And see the Lord, the GREAT I AM What will He see as He takes a look? At the story I've written in my life's book As I look in His eyes and He holds out His hand Will I fall or rise….oh, what then???? |
