IF  I   DIED  TONIGHT….


If I died tonight ….

If I died tonight I’d regret
about 10 times I didn’t say, “I’m sorry”,
about 3 times I didn’t ask, “Please forgive me!”
about 1,000 unanswered letters,
about 10,000 wasted hours,
about 10 books I didn’t finish writing,
about 1,000 books I didn’t read,
that only once did I got scream back 
from a sermon I preached,
and there’s more ….

If I died tonight ….

If I died tonight I’d rejoice
that I got to the Lake of Galilee,
that I the last thing I said to my brother
before he died was, “I love you,”
that I gave it my best shot 81%
of the times,
that I could hit a curve ball,
that I listened to people when then
asked to talk to me,
that I had a wonderful family,
that I lucked out in the people I met
and there’s more ….

If I wake up tomorrow …. there’s more.
