When God Comes for Your Soul
When God comes for your soul
do not ask for forgiveness
do not beg for mercy
for
His forgiveness is already given
God is Mercy
Do not thank Him for the beauty of your body
physical beauty is fleeting at best
soon to rot and decay
Do not thank Him for the treasure you have
for those after you will fight over it
it will soon tarnish and rust
instead
Thank Him for the glimpse of that hummingbird
For the glory of the sunrise
the beauty of sunset
Thank Him for that flower that opened today
it was only a bud yesterday
gone tomorrow
Thank Him for the child you held in your arms
that you could sooth his pain
and dry her tears
Thank Him for the music of the Universe
presented by the stars in the sky
and the birds in the air
and the breeze
and people
Thank Him for those who create beauty
the beauty of their music
and their color
and art
Thank Him for the beauty that you are
the beauty of your soul
and your heart
