DEAD ON ARRIVAL

DEAD ON ARRIVAL

They say dreams foretell the future
but I hope that really isn't so,
I have many miles to travel and
I'm just not ready yet to go.

I know my time will be coming
and we know not how or when.
The good that I can do here on earth
is not finished, the day begins again.

Just in case God has other plans,
I'm trying to take stock of my life.
Have I made a difference to anyone?
Have I tried hard to end the strife?

Should I hear His call to glory
and dead on arrival I find myself,
I hope someone will remember me
in the Book of Life upon His shelf.

They say dreams foretell the future
but I hope that really isn't so,
I have many miles to travel and
I'm just not ready yet to go.
