The Final Encore

Are you ready for your graduation day
As you wait on the setting of the sun
Have you lived a life worth celebrating
Are you proud of the race you’ve run

Have you jumped clear of every hurdle
Gained wisdom from every hard trial
Have you learnt the value from every lesson
Or are you still hiding past hurts in denial

Have you reconciled your old accounts
And brought your past into balance
Has your life been a profit or a loss
Settle your debts with repentance

Have you accepted the path that your life took
Have you made peace with the ghosts of your past
Every darkened valley and detour it took
Hold precious treasures for you that will last 

Has your seasoned heart been blackened by hate
Has it tasted the cold kiss of betrayal
Are you burdened with needless offenses
Still hoarding them all for rebuttal

Don't waste time with not forgiving
Let go of all your hurt and regret
Settle every score in your heart
And calm every worry and fret

For the curtain is calling on your stage of life 
So keep hoping and wishing for more
But accept this blessed life you’ve lived
As you wait on your final encore
