The Last Bath

Cleanse my shoulder;
   burden that my life once bound.

Cleanse my self;
   only memories stay but not my bond.

Cleanse my shroud;
   my only attire for my end.

Cleanse my sins;
   my soul will be blessed.

Cleanse my sanctuary;
   I shall lay forever on this bed.

 By welcoming death;
   my life will be perfected.
Farewell the Rests, 
   may we meet again unaltered.
