What if?

[Katya]

This poem was written by my father. I hate poetry, but this one i love. I thought I would share it with you.

What if

What if what I believed in was nothing but a lie
What if there was nothing like I expected, when I opened the door when I die

What if when I went there, it was to a different place
What if I, should it so bare, of my beliefs was not found a trace

What if what I longed for, was not as I had believed
What if when I get past that door, I found I was decieved

What if when I am asked, Do I really still believe it so
What if there was no light that me basked, would I to church still go?

Yes. Would be my be my answer, because it is not faith that I lack
I need to love my God, and from him never look back

I know 'twill a difficult thing, as others to church never go
And mock me as they hear me sing, saying "never to church would we go."

Yet through all this darkness, I cling to that silken thread
That has told me from the begining, that I'll be with God when dead

So it matters not to me, what others may say and do
So long as I be found faithful, when this mortal journey is through.
