Calvin & Jeremiah

And life is over quickly

and time will slip like sand

through fingers that are idle

while we’re making other plans,

for dying people wait…

but they make no loud demands.

So take each passing minute

and invest it in someone

they’re all you can take with you

when your time on earth is done

and heaven will be sweeter

when you know your race well run.

For those in need of shelter

do you have an empty bed?

For the heartsick can your shoulder

support a weary head?

For the needy with no food stamps

do you have some extra bread?

For the lonely hurting child

can you spare an hour or two?

For the teen trying to grow up

remember how it was for you?

For your frail white-haired neighbor

listen to her point of view?

Inasmuch as you have done it

your hands have touched the Lord,

and when you host a stranger

remember what is in the Word,

that when we least expect it

there’s an angel at our board.

“They say at the end, your whole life flashes before you.

Make it worth watching."
