When Life On Earth Could End Up Soon!

Now at the fag-end of my life, Afraid I am, no one's with me! Not ev'n my spouse or any child, Relative, friend or neighbor one. Gone are my youth and adulthood; My energy is not the same; The zeal and verve, will-pow'r have left; My frame can barely stand or walk! Though full of wisdom, experience, Fear fills my mind, heart, soul by stealth; My days are numbered upon earth; Have I well served my birth's purpose? My health is ebbing fast with time; I'm slow, with failing memory; I seldom smile and rarely laugh; The grave's whisper so nigh, I hear! Yet, I am thankful to my God; He wrought His miracles on me; His mercies came and spared His rod; My gaze is on eternity! Copyright by Dr John Celes 17-09-2023
