Lord, I am ready My life, you gave, I thank you Before I walk down those steps... In your ever light I close my eyes one last time Felling your warmth, your love, you Before I walk down I leave behind...love to all My halo will be my eyes To watch everyone Those who need comfort, I'll see... And I'll cover them in wings In your ever light My eyes will open again I will bring along with me... Before I walk down All of their prayers and hope To bring to you, my father To watch everyone... Above, with you, my father Now, as I take my last breath Lord, I am ready Come here, my son...says the lord "I have always been with you" (Photo 3) Fives and Sevens Poetry Contest Sponsored by Joseph May 7-5-2019
