Now What

ForeverJesus7


After I see,
every country of the world,
after I find,
an oyster with five pearls,
after I explore,
the other ninety-five percent of the ocean,
after I smooth,
an alligator's skin with lotion,
after I climb,
Mount Everest while walking on my hands,
after I save a lion,
from being eaten by a man,
after I discover,
a deeper darker trench,
there will be nothing left,
for me to do,
but sit down on this quiet bench.
At fifty years old,
I will be feeling depressed,
because I thought,
I did everything in the world.
What more is there left?
Still, I did not have Christ.
I have traveled,
all over the world,
and have not once spread the gospel.
So what have I,
truely gained?
What have I,
truely accomplished?
I cannot think of anything.
So as I sit of this bench,
at fifty years old,
I ask myself,
'Now what'.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This piece is not about me in particular. This piece can be humorous or serious. It is referring to people who always want to, 'live life their own way', and, 'never have to answer to anybody'. Traveling the world is fun, and so is experiencing new things, but to the people who live their life their way, what will happen when you have nothing left to do? We need to live our life for the Lord, and have a strong foundation in his word. Persistence is key
