MY SALVATION

 

 

I am not afraid to die
At least that is what I tell myself
Over
And over
Again.

At times I even believe it
For it is not really death that I fear
It is the change,
The unfamiliar,
The unknown

The regret of missing something yet undone
The loss of loved ones in my existence
After my course has been run
My trials and tribulations passed,
Or failed

Here in this life
As a good Christian
I should welcome death
But therein lies the crux
Just how good of a Christian am I
Really

For does a good Christian
Have such doubts
And fears
My God is a forgiving God,
Or at least
That is what I have been told

If you ask for his mercy it will be given
As for my salvation
That may be my only hope
 
I am not afraid to die
Death is just the end
Of this natural process

After all.
So many have gone before
It must be easy
