One-day comes---the "waiting"-call for each...too-soon!

Echoed-Thunder Call
 
When echoed-thunder reverberates a call upon His-roll
Then spent-earthly-shell vacate perpetual spirit-soul
 
St. Peter reads from the Book-of-Life! Truth be told
Stand silent! Pray! Mercy-Blessing turn not ice-cold
 
In eternal-instant: Jesus-Judgment of soul sin-stained
Only: Praise! Honor! Glory! Of holy-name remained
 
Elapsed is time to make-it-right; no other chance for “re-do”
In cerulean-crystal vision-clear, view value-virtue I knew
 
Perhaps Prayer with Luck (a bit) gains entrance through the Pearly-Gates
No-angel! Not-even-close: A-saint! May Communion-gathering ingratiate?
 
There: Beyond! In-Judgment, like-in-life, alone I dutifully do-stand
Out-of-the-blue my call came; this be not the exact day I had-planned
 
Blessed be I! Always! Life winds soft-kind a scented fragrant-flower
Oft instances may have caught me lacking. Thanks for redemption-power!
 
Confession? Then? That thee might secret hear? To know just what I be?
Easy, Friend! No obfuscating-veil confused of me whatever thou did see
 
Pray! Not find thy soul in Judgment-line behind a sorry, wretched-bloke
Long grow a day with charges true of evil thoughts, deeds and words spoke
 
Perhaps, too, He’ll mention-kind contrite attempts for Salvation-sake
Confess: I tasted sweet-of-Life to savor long each bite I dared partake
 
Count, too! Dear Lord! Sturdy forest-trees I planted to ten thousand-number
Poor single drop-of-Respect deserved for Thee from humble earth here under
 
Consider, too, my soul mate and honored angelic progeny whose Love I-found
No royal, elite-King! Yet, with these jewels through Love-for-Thee, I’m crowned
 
My final-prayer repeats my life-hope exemplified throughout time’s-experience
To eternal celebrate as Santa Claus with gifts for every Christian’s-convenience
 
That humble-I might bring smiles, or, better, laughs, completes an effort-tried
Should my time pass vacant pure attempt? Such truly be sweet-Paradise denied!
Amen!
