Last Thoughts

The time is close- the crossroad to my death-

dear God, so short the time to quantify,

before I leave this world with my last breath,

the good my journey brought to fortify

a life worth-lived, and aptly justify

I've loved and helped my family and friends, 

and when I've wronged, did offer my amends;

as best I could- I followed your commands.

Oh, God, if not, please now my soul, do cleanse,

and carry it to Heaven in your hands.
