When my number’s up
And it’s my time to go
It’s all in God’s plan
This much I know
I’ve lived my life
Surviving day by day
Taking the good with the bad
And here I am today
I’ve taken some mighty blows
Always knocking me down
But I always get back up
Fighting off the frown
But in my life
I’ve laughed and smiled
Many a cherished memory
Within my heart I’ve filed
For life is full
Of pleasure and pain
Life’s not always sunny blue skies
Yes, there will be some rain
And yet
Still I look to tomorrow
Life’s too short
To be lost in sorrow
I’ve lost some loved ones
Crossed over to the other side
Someday I’ll be there too
At the end of my Earthly ride
Until then
That of my fateful day
I know Heaven is always
Only a heartbeat away

A read to warm the heart - I just love that final line - - such an encouraging poem.
Thanks Fay, your comments are always so uplifting. ; )
Erm, stay 'this side' somewhat longer - well, if you can. None of us know when our 'time's up'. 🙂
A friend said one day (a visitor) - 'See you in the Rapture, if not before'. Why yes, if we don't see them 'before', this will be so!
Well orchi, I've many things I'd still like to do while I'm here. So I'm not planning on leaving too soon. Thanks for reading. ; )
This is brilliant!
Thank you pb. ; )
Wonderful write, so positive and to my mind so true, I will be there.
When the time comes, I'll see you there Goldie. ; )
sunshine and rain,sweet love and pain,memories lost and found
but the gate of heaven can always be found
True words from one so wise. Thanks for reading and your comment Ron. ; )
my pleasure
I really like your poem, AP! Feel the same way. It reminded me a little bit of Frank Sinatra's "My way", a song I also like.
Yes Fred, I know the Sinatra song well. I've always loved the song and find it very inspiring. ; )
