My Last Hour

. 3600 Seconds I would pray and ask God to forgive me for all my shortcomings. I would thank Him for the many blessings He has sent my way. I would ask Him that He be with all my loved ones, guide them, and give them the faith they will need to carry on. I would tell Him, I understood, that, “His Will Must Be Done”. I would gather my children and let them know how much I love them. I would ask them to keep and pass on the values, I have taught them. That I understand they will be unhappy, not too grieve to long, that death is part of life, we are not promised any tomorrows. I would sit with my husband and let him know how much he means to me, how much I love him. I would thank him, with all my heart, for the last 22 years. Let him know how happy he has made me. I would ask him not to grieve for me, in due time, find someone else. I do not want him to be alone. I would go sit on my porch swing with my husband, family and smell the fresh air. Until death, I would be with Him because "I am Going Home". Juanita Warden Copyright © 2011 (All rights reserved) Robb A. Kopp Contest, "My Last Hour"
