TOO BUSY TO THINK ABOUT DEATH
(Copyright 27th July 2005)

Lying here in the ground,
No one to help me,
No one to talk to,
Only my thoughts and previous actions for company.

I never spent my life thinking about death.
Why would I??
I was too busy living!
Playing, Studying, Starting a Family, Working,
Building my wealth,
I had no time to spare to think about death.

What have I done with my time?
What did I achieve?
How will that help me now?

I never stopped to gain reward,
To think of the consequences of each daily action,
To find seconds or minutes to supplicate,
I never stopped to remember my lord.
Who waited for me each day,
My creator, the almighty, the great,
I wish I’d found time,
Whilst washing the car,
Or putting the kids to bed,
On my way to work,
To think of my next journey,
To plan ahead, to build eternal wealth,
I wish I’d found time to think about death!!
