Just never could quite find the time

Such a busy life she had.
Always on the go!
Try as she might,
but never taking the time
To help not one needy soul.
A good heart indeed she did possess.
Her intentions were well meant.
She just never could quite find the time
as she grew old,and tired,and spent.
In her final days the sickness came.
Death soon carried her away.
Standing there before the Lord
as he looked at all the names.
That he himself had written.
In the precious book of life.
She suddenly began to sob,and wail
For her name,he could not find!
He said,"Depart from me,I never knew you!
I even checked the good book twice!
I really meant to write your name.
I just never could quite find the time!"
