A dream

A Poem by Kati

A dream that was gladly awoken from. What hope lies in today.

Suddenly and before I know it, it's the end.
All of the events of my life are played over again.
And do you know the resounding question in my mind?
Why did I not serve Him more faithfully while I had time!?

I see here, where I neglected to share with my friend,
God's justice and mercy, and the urgency at hand.
And there, the woman with physical needs,
and I passed right on by, caring more about my "seeds".

There were so many times that I could have glorified His Name!
But instead, I went about my business, doing my own thing.
Here and there, little opportunities and little events,
I let them pass by, my time was elsewhere spent.

Now I awake and happily see,
it was a dream, and in all reality,
I have a chance now to make sure I don't regret
all of the time that I could have misspent.

I will awake and ask myself every day,
How am I going to serve my King today?
Cause at the end of it all, and we are before His throne,
I want to present my sacrifice and hear: "Well done."
