What's Next?
What's next?.. is that death?.. is he knocking at my door?
Where will I run.. where will I hide.. when in time there is no more.
What's next? someone tell me, I've been waiting all my life.
There's a lot of speculation, on this matter of truth.. but not many who seem to be right.
What's next please? I've my whole life ahead of me.
But as I look back, I've lived half my life.
And if those years are a fleeting memory, how quick comes the end.. and could it end as quickly as time gone by.
Don't wait 'till I'm to weak, to tell me what's next please.. hear my voice it's an honest plea.
I don't want to know what everybody thinks about God..
I want to know God..
What's next for me?

This really touched me, especially the "I don't want to know... I want to know God" I have been feeling the very same thing recently. Thank you for a poem full of truth.

I too liked that line, very much. But, it will do you no good to spend this life that has been given to you wondering when it will end and we will never truly know what happens then. That is why we have our faith. When God wants us, he will take us. And all we can do is live the way that he intended the best that we can and have faith that he has something special in store for us when it is time.
Anyway, I liked this much. I have wondered the same from time to time, and that was the rationalization that I came up with.

I liked this too, we all feel this way. But pondering on the subject for a few moments, I decided I don't want to know, life would be boring and predictable. No surprise, no anticipation or excitement. Well Done

What's next, is a life after death question, not a, next week thing. Understand that the reflection is an observation of peoples spirits and minds that I have met, as a street preacher, in, I might add some of the most hellish inner cities around the country.
As for me, I've been kickin it with Jesus for more than 20 years, since he found me in the streets of L.A. dying of a cocaine addiction, wondering "what's Next For Me?"

Uh, ok I don't quite understand your responses b/c I don't think I feel the same way of god that you do...Although I can not relate to this poem I understand the emotion that you bring out of it.
