An Old Man's Prayer

Forget me not O Lord in the evening of my days

Grant me the strength to go down on my knees

To thank Thee for Thine grace to see another day.

Help me remember my many friends and family

Those still here and also those gone before me.

Give me time to pass on Thine wisdom to those that

I may leave behind, that they may learn to please Thee.

Allow me the time  to right the many wrongs I have done

That I may clear my conscience and wait for thee.

Give me the strength to endure this frail body of mine

Give the hope that I may also enjoy the celestial body

Thou has promise me to be free from pain and suffering.

Lord come quickly I wait for thee my time here has well nigh ended.
