"When My Time Comes"
In the dawn of each day
I wonder which way
My life will begin
And ponder when it will end.

I like this life I live,
And as I take and give,
Things that I have been bestowed
With the Gifts that God has loaned.

Then I shall ever remember,
As everyone should be a member,
Of something greater than any
And learn importance of the many.

I am not at all alone;
I should never moan,
Nor carry troubles upon my back,
But should let God keep me on track.

So let's just say
That there's no other way,
But to believe in God's love
As He gives His hand without a glove.

I will always bask
In the knowledge that will last
Forever and ever more
The shinning love He wore.

When this small body of mine
Gives up it's last breath of time,
I will be happy in knowing
That my heart will be glowing.

God will be waiting for me,
I know for sure that will be.
The Golden Gates will open wide
And admit me to Heaven's side.
