To Die Alone

Cast
Out
Lonely
Dying

I then
Seek to
Ease pain
Ease suffering

Holy God above
Is it time
My time then

I ask so gently
Do not take me 
I am not ready
Ease me into it

I think we all want to be prepared to die before we actually die! That sudden death is not what we all want (most of us anyway)! This poem exemplifies this completely my friend! I really enjoyed reading this positive piece here this evening! What a fabulous poem, such an outstanding verse! Great Work!!
