Life After Death

by Rusheena   Aug 6, 2011


If I could come back from the dead, just for five minutes,

I'd tell You how much You mean to me

I'd get on my knees and thank You for the precious air that I breathe

I'd ask You to forgive me for walking away

I wish I would've had more time to tell You how I really felt

But I guess that's not how it works...

If only I would've let go of my pride, let go of myself, just for a moment

I could have loved...I could have lived

A moment is what it would've taken to realize that You really loved me

What I would've given to have realized that sooner!

But I wouldn't listen; I would only listen to everyone but You

I couldn't even look You in the eyes whenever You spoke to me

And now, it's too late to ask for forgiveness

Now, it's too late to try to make amends

...Now it's too late for everything

    Thank you for your kind words Rusheena and for believing in my poetry.

    This piece spoke to me because I know how easy it is, how in the blink of an eye, we can decide to push away God or hate him for that day. But remember, just like He always loves us no matter what, we are made in His image, we are still precious and we can overcome every temptation, every whisper by Lucifer, if we put on the armor of our Lord.

    I know I doubt myself because I turn away at the chance at confession or forgiveness....but know He forgives you anyway, even when we don't want to accept that.

    Keep writing dear,
    God bless!
