Midnight Questions (Free verse) by TLRufener
Have you ever taken a step back
And really looked at your life?
Did you ever figure out that it was perfect?
Did you ever wonder why?
In that moment,
What questions crossed your mind?
Have you ever taken the time to think
What it was that you left behind?
When did it hit you
That you had everything?
Did you hesitate and wonder
What other gifts your life could bring?
After the white dove
Flew quickly overhead,
Then did you discover
That at last you were dead?
When did the glorious angels
Come down to take your soul away?
Did you know that they were coming?
Did you ask them if you could stay?
What great crime did you commit
To deserve such a severe punishment?
What great deed did you complete
To deserve such a reward that heaven sent?
Did you ever stop and think
How many people would mourn you and cry?
Why didnât you try and beat the odds
If you didnât have to die?
Who came to you with the message
That your work on Earth was done?
What creature took you to the clouds
And now lets you live forever on?
Did you ever take that step back
And really look at your life?
Did you hear the words I said?
Did you ever hear me cry?
