Today Is A Very Special Day
God Paid Me A Visit
I was at home doing a little of this and a little of that
Just in the middle of the week and a day off for me
When I felt an unexpected pain in my chest
Not a sharp pain
Not a dull pain
More like an ache that always wanted to grow up to become a pain
Well as I gave it a quick thought and then tried to dismiss the obvious
I repeated outloud then to myself It was nothing
I still wondered what was going on inside my chest
Maybe indigestion I hope and pray
But to who do I pray if God came to visit me today
It could be a sign from God he wants me
I am not ready as I think real quick
It is not your choice my son as he responds with a sigh
I come back with I have work to do and many lives to touch
I have all this love to still give
I have not filfilled my dreams yet
As I ramble on and make my sentences just one big run on
Not pausing at the end of any sentence
The room is filled with silence
I hear you even though you are not speaking clearly
How much time do you need ?
Once again quick on my feet I begin to mumble
20 or 30 years more
MMMMMMMM that could be a problem
How about 10 years at least
You have to be joking
I have given you 40 plus years already
What have you done that wowed me to let you stay ?
Not really
Today is the day
Have you done anything exceptional to help out mankind ?
No
Have you bent over backwards to at least try
I got a late start but only time will tell
Nothing I see here could make me believe that things are going to be any different
I can try
I have a list of so many that are blind and physically handicapped that can do better than that
I see you have nothing to keep you from achieving your dreams
But you still go slow and in time even slower
You make up excuses for things that you don't do
When you are the only reason that stops you
There is no excuse
Some people just don't make the cut
Even I have to draw the line somewhere
I give you the tools to use and you choose to follow the fools
Then once again there was an airy silence in the room
I knew in that moment there is nothing I could say or do that would change his opinion
I have to accept the truth before me
I patiently wait in just a few minutes my lifetime has passed
I feel in a good mood today and my ride is full
If I didn't have such a tight schedule things would be different
I would find a way to squeeze you in
But it is a long ride and I hate to be all cramped
Thank you and thank you again for leaving me behind
We shall see what tomorrow will bring
I am not making any promises and I might still bring you in
Instantly I FEEL THE COOL AIR BRUSH AGAINST MY SHOULDERS AND BACK
I HAVE BEEN GIVEN MORE TIME
WAS IT A DAY DREAM I HAD OR WAS I
REALLY TALKING TO GOD THROUGH MY THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD
