I rejoice in my shroud

I rejoice in my shroud

A Poem by KLGreen
"

A talitot is the hebrew plural of a prayer shawl

"
I wrap myself in the talitot,
a funeral shroud for me.
Because my faith will be my death
for love of my Deity.
A dirge, a dirge, my soul for a dirge
to send me on my way;
I praised His name into a plot of dirt
and wait patiently for decay.
But please do not shed a tear
or keen beside my stone.
My body wore out in worship dear.
My tongue with praise wore to the bone.
I go to God with nothing left
because I gave him all.
I do not leave this world bereft
so wrap me in my shawl.
