ODE TO MY SAVIOR
When I die, I will hear my Savior say
What have you done with your life
Can you tell me, today
So I will tell Him that I rode a horse
at a gallop, and nearly fell off
I rode a horse at a walk and
I nearly fell off
I laughed and I cried
Danced and ran like the wind
I sat on a swing and swung
so high, with my toes tried
to touch the sky
Tried my best to be good, but often
did not know where to begin
But oh, you know
sometimes I was bad and I did sin
I sang, but always off key
I even sang a solo in the Baptist Church
I was a mother, and loved
my children so
I was a nurse and took care of your sick
and by their death bed I would often sit
I painted portraits and trees
planted tomatoes, flowers and peas
Had many dogs and cats
and even remember all of their names
I was a Girl Scout
and sold many cookies
But I suspect, dear Lord that
what I am telling you is all useless stuff
And maybe what I have done
is not enough
But I do know that I have always
loved you
And even better than that
I know that you have always loved me
