 One Hour I would like to pose a question to all that read this page. Your gender doesn't matter neither does your age. If you answer honestly some real truth may be revealed. Don't kid yourself, or be blasé, or it may be concealed. If GOD called and HE told you in "One Hour" you were leaving, would you rejoice in your departure or would you begin grieving?? That's the question that I pose. You've got sixty minutes left. Would you look forward to the trip or would you be bereft? What is there here left uncompleted; which task is left undone? Is there a friend that you should call and is there only one? Is there a brother or a sister that you haven't seen in years? There was a time when parting would bring on loving tears. Perhaps a Daughter ... or a Son ... are distant due to strife. Could it be your own husband or maybe it's your wife? Unkind words can cut so deep to fill your heart with hate. And make you want to stay that way but time is growing late... Keep in mind the time allotted... sixty minutes isn't very much. There's folks out there that love you you both just have lost touch. Would you spend time phoning people I've mentioned in this poem? Or would you choose to stay alone and hibernate at home? Situations, I've not covered, are numerous I'm sure. You know those folks that injured you and also know the cure. Don't harbor unforgiveness don't put off calling friends. Don't leave your life unfinished there's scant time to make amends. The scenarios I've presented are just possibilities I know. But think about it this way ... "Have I described one that you know"? Was there anyone you would have phoned? Why do you hesitate? You may have more than sixty minutes, but why do you still wait? No one I have ever met knows of their final hour. It can't be known when we'll leave earth, we don't have that power. I DO know if you're reading this the air you still can clear. DO IT NOW!! And make your peace you may not have this year.
