Seldom Prayer

Sir God, It's me again, You already know what I want to say, But allow me put it this way, Our genesis is different, But the destiny is the same. We all must rest, We'll die and go to unknown land, A place only known to the departed, Not even the worldly majesties, Will escape it. Do not give me many years, Like those of Methuselah, I not need to be wrinkled, And look like a beast, I need not to be a burden, When my time come, Let it be a decent journey, At an old age dear God, When I'll have accomplished all, The wants and desires in mind. At a time I'll be giving blessings, The time I'll have nothing to lose, Nobody will have to wail, For I'll have put it to a halt, My gift of life. Dear God, Let it not be through an ailment, Not a fatal accident, Not a suicide nor a genocide, Not even a lightning strike, Let it be a decent journey. @Tha Formidable Cheru. #themonk.
