DEATH APPROACHING

“Life is ending soon for me.
This comes as a surprise.”

Yet every life, begun, is on the way;
We cannot stop the coming of that day.

“Whether short or long, dear Lord,
We praise you for each span.”

The Life and breath, created by Your hand
Cannot be lengthened by our own command.

“I trust to You the way it comes
I know that You are near.”

In Life or Death Your Presence is the Prize.
To all that live, please open up their eyes.
