Maker Meeting

“Are you prepared to meet your Maker yet?”
To meet my Maker, I am to prepare?
How well prepared for that can someone get?
At least the warning sees our Maker there.

I try to meet Him all the usual ways,
but there’s an incompleteness to my search,
I cannot just read Scripture all my days,
it helps to get direction from the Church.

I know my Maker made me, but then why?
To love Him first for this in gratitude,
for me and all He sent His Son to die,
I payback love and serve Him, not just brood.

I’ll be prepared when in them Him I see,
and in my Maker’s image re-make me.
