Looking Back


A million years from now when life is done
as we look back on our short time on earth
and our eternity has just begun,
what will we see that made it be it's worth?

How can so few years here so set our fate--
this brief blink of an eye decisive--when
we'll end up and forever see inflate
our fast lifetime that’s soon eternal then?

What did Christ do in His mere thirty-three,
one half the life that I already live?
What all in love has God so given me
that I should in return be meant to give?

This riddle--that for little I have given,
do I deserve eternity in heaven?
