Deathbed Sinner

Deathbed Sinner

As I feel my strength ebbing away

I know I won't see another day

Laying here contemplating my fate

I realize it's now too late

To make up for the wrongs I've done

No deed can be undone

So I have one chance, to repent

This message to all I have sent !

....................................................

Life, by all measures, is far too brief

To spend your days causing others grief

Treat all as you would do yourself

The smiles you bring will be your wealth

Don't follow the path that I have taken

You may well be left forsaken

Live a life that is just and true

Cause others to be glad they met you !

....................................................

Soon it will be time for me to go

I just want everyone to know

I meet our Lord head in hands

Hoping He will understand

That in His realm, I am willing to do

All He requires to make it up to you

My soul leaves this earth with a heavy heart

Wishing I knew goodness from the very start !

How refreshing if every assailiant thought that way. That would be lovely...repentance. Repentance sets both parties free from bondage doesnt it....there is a freedom in repentance.
