I am not ready – v3

I remember so clearly his sharing these words,
in memory, in prayer, welling up within him,
a word of caution for all of us gathered,
hearing these words of challenge,
of preparation, for what will be...
 
“Here it comes and I’m not ready”,
not ready to meet my Maker,
a balancing of the scales,
to have an accounting,
measuring my life…
 
Wishing there had been that there was more time,
All that I have done, my history, failings,
time for me to change, to turn,
to walk more closely to You,
the rest of my days, oh God…
 
These words that he shared, with us,
a measure of his witness, his truth,
of his daily walk, his struggles,
walking more humbly
each day of his life…
