Once More

the end draws near,

it speaks from within

just as surely as the wind

blowing through the swaying trees,

the last breath waits,

silently and patiently lingering,

like ocean waves crashing down

upon deserted winter shores;

I do not fear it,

I do not seek it,

it is what it is,

it will be what it will be,

part of the final story,

a small piece of who and what I was,

the completion of a journey;

I know my Lord and Savior,

the One who was sacrificed for me,

the King who laid down His

life that I might live,

will be there the whole time,

giving me strength to endure every trial,

standing by my side through every

moment of suffering and pain,

He will never leave me,

never forsake me,

never stop loving me;

it is in His hands that I place my life,

to Him do I submit all that I have,

in Him do I place my trust,

through Him shall I live once more.
