Our Claim to Fame

What am I doing? 
I'm waiting to die.
My years are behind me
So, don't ask me why.

When I was young,
It was often said,
You're never too tired;
You can sleep when you're dead.

Now that I'm old
And ready to rest, 
I trust in my savior.
My Lord knows me best.

I've journeyed for miles
And the years have flown by.
I leave a life well-lived
So, there's no reason to cry.

I'll stand before God
When he calls me home.
Pleased to wrap up
My life with a poem.
