Don’t Wait ‘Till After You’re Dead 27.02.24
I still recall the old preacher,
And the words he so often said.
“Go talk to the Lord today,
Don’t wait ‘till after you’re dead.”
The words remain as true today,
As on those days way back when.
Always in too much of a hurry
Seems foolishness is the way of men.
Too busy on chasing new money
Success is one’s prime purpose in life
A holiday in the Bahamas
Without the kids and the wife.
Today I reheard that old warning
Saw a sign shining so bright in my head
And I heard a message screaming
“Don’t wait ‘till after you’re dead.”
Too busy to take on that warning
An opportunity’s aloft in the breeze
A million attracts like old Satan
Money tempts, it’s a lethal disease.
I close my eyes, still see that old preacher
And I ponder on the words he said
Starting to think they may have meaning.
“Don’t wait ‘till after you’re dead.”
