Times Up

Rapidly I decrease to return to dust 
As my mind rusts and decays
And life has lost its lust

I'm left to ponder achievements missed
And wished I had more time
For that one last kiss

Now its far to late
For this is my fate 
Death is at the door we have a date

So today with all 
I will make peace
So I'll be released
when I'm deceased

And may I travel from here 
To where God draws me near
And Angels whisper tunes
In these old ears

And the closer you move towards God, the younger those ears become…and forever we dwell with Him! Praise God!
