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.
