If Today I Die

If today I die, right at this moment of my Life,
I do wonder how I’d feel, how I’d think of my lifetime.
Will I smile at my last breath, or frown or cringe in fear,
Or maybe worry for lots of things if I’d just fall down dead right here.
 
If today, right at this minute, death calls me to my grave,
Will I have the guts to say I’ve spent this life that God gave
With dedicated commitment to making His will happen?
Or will I rue that I’d be leaving this precious life terribly barren?
 
Will anybody feel sad over my departure, would anyone be disappointed?
Will the world become incomplete when I suddenly lay on my deathbed?
Have I at least done something that counts, so as I could be worthy
To leave my prints in here and stay even just in someone’s memory?
 
If in a few seconds I’d be drawing my last breath of air,
Will somebody feel at loss, will anybody even care?
If today is my last, and tomorrow I am gone,
Will you think of something good I’ve possibly done?
 
And if good deeds, few or even just one I really had none,
I hope today’s not yet the day of my last look at the sun.
I pray to God to give me one more chance, maybe two
To have a little more time to do something that is good.
 
For if I die today knowing I lived a long life of nothing,
It’ll be a really awful death, I doubt if I could leave the world smiling.
Lord, let me do at least one good deed, push or shake me, if that has to be done,
Just so I’ll have one lovely memory in this world before I’m totally gone.
