IF

Sharon Steege

If tomorrow comes and finds me gone
have I done the best I could
did I live my life to the best of my ability
did I live the way I should.

Did I walk a straight enough path
so the ones who walk behind
will never have a problem following
is the path easy to find?

Did I raise my children the way God wanted
did I leave it on their heart
can they look back with pride upon my life
did I finish the way I started?

Are they proud to call me "MAMA"
Does my husband fill with pride
have I filled my role as companion
all I know is I really tried.

Will my grandchildren call  me good
did I try to understand
do they know I was always there for them
always reaching out my hand.

Can my church family look upon me
as a pastors wife with dignity and pride
or will they wonder if I really made it
was there anything I tried to hide.

Will my friends say I was a good one
will they miss me when I am gone
or will they say oh yes I knew her
she was one you could depend on.

Will my God accept my spirit
or turn his head away
will I be turned into darkness
on that great and terrible day.

I hope I can answer my own questions
I can say I really tried
God forgive me if I missed it
help my best be enough to get inside.

Let me live today and the next
just like it was my last
I want to know I will surely make it
when it comes my time to pass.
