A Prayer For Dying

When I arrive at edge of night,
And permanence is in full view.
Let me not dwell on things of fright,
But have eyes affixed on you.

For things in life I might have done,
Won't take me to your presence.
And there'll be no thing hidden, not one,
Because of your omnipresence.

A great reminder of ourselves and what waits beyond. Beautifully said.
