AN HOUR BEFORE CHRISTMAS

AN HOUR BEFORE

It was an Hour before Christmas

When death came to my door

It was an Hour of life

That I live life long

It was an Hour of reflection

That showed me what I've been

It was an Hour of sorrow

For I've seen all I did

It was an Hour of repentance

For I had an Hour to live

It was an Hour of redemption

For I pray to God to forgive

It was an Hour of my Life

No longer could I live

It was an Hour when I was Born

That death brought me to Heaven

It was an hour       

When I passed beyond the door

Eternity is open now, what do I do?

Follow that Spirit who said I am you

Now !
Where am I going?
Only where I was before.

A Poeatreeman

One Hour to make the most of Life
One Hour to mark a place in Heaven

Dedicated to Rose Prieto
Mark the Time
For it is not Long..
