My Inevitable Death

just some musings about my death

I know there will come the day

when I wil hear my Savior say,

"Jim, time to come home to be with Me."

His loving face, i cannot wait to see

I do not want to languish in pain while dying

nor to hear the anguish of people crying

yes, cancer has ravaged my body, but not my soul

no matter my circumstances, my mind remains whole

I am thankful for the life my Savior has given

and that my past transgressions have been forgiven

I am about to achieve my life long quest

a place for me in Heaven for my eternal rest

I will smile and say I love you before my final breath

and then, i will slip silently into my invetitable death
