EXIT FROM THIS WORLD

EXIT FROM THIS WORLD



Shall I be happy when I die?
Shall I shed a few tears?
Shall I maintain my calm and peace?
Shall I be full of fears?

All this depends on how one views
The exit from this world.
Is it entry to His kingdom,
Or wilderness wayward?

I think I shall be happy in
My ultimate moment.
I shall too gladly cast away
My this mortal raiment.

I know I have done my duty,
Though sometimes I faltered.
I don’t care,for heaven or hell,
If this life is bartered.
