If I die before I wake,
Nothing here will I take.
But lots of things I'll leave behind,
For they were borrowed and never mine.
If in fact, I were to die,
Without the chance to say good-bye,
Just look around and you will see,
Something to remind you of me...
A Reese wrapper or a diet coke,
A crumbled page of some tired ole joke,
Or on my desk, a bible worn,
Pages brown & marked & torn.
Or look up at the birds in the trees,
Or stand out in the summer's breeze,
Or listen for the ocean's crash,
Or look at my grave-stone dash.
Or listen to "It Is Well",
Or to the sounds of Christmas bells,
Or a lively Southern Gospel tune,
Or just stand and stare at the moon.
Yes, If I die before you do,
Know that I really cared for you,
And that my earthly work is done,
And now I'm with the Father's Son!

Pastor James, I am always in awe of the power and strength that God gives at "just the right time" and to touch "just the right heart".
I did not know your precious friend, but if I can touch one life in the way he did, in my lifetime, I will be doing well.
Thank you for sharing your heart.
Nancy
