if I had one year to live – v4

a reminder, a challenge,
that my days already numbered
reading these words of Peter
the urgency, the sense of import,
knowing he was approaching death
that the forces were aligned against him
seeking to stop him from sharing the gospel
thinking about the pastor’s words -
what would I do differently
if I knew, if I had one year to live
if I had a timeline spoken, uttered,
laid out clearly before me, my thoughts?

how would my life be different
what would I do, what would I say
if I knew more surely, an expiration date
a countdown clock, a time, a date certain
the end of my days, my journey,
would I actually change, really
would I live on purpose, intentionally,
would I make a plan, set it in motion,
taking stock, making amends, repenting,
changing, forgiving, seeking forgiveness,
if I knew, if I had one year to live
my days already numbered (as they are already)…
