You Must, You Really Must!

How many years for me still in store?

Ten, fifteen, or perhaps some more?

Whatever time may now remain

On earthly realm of joy and pain,

I now hand it all over to You,

Please do with it as You wish to.

For long I lived as per my mind,

But now I ask You to be so kind

As to take this burden that I bore,

I don’t want to carry it anymore,

For, what can this my mind know?

It’s bound to err: You made it so.

So, to You now my time left I hand,

My decision You fully understand.

Take it now as Your responsibility,

Accept it, in Your bounteous charity.

You must, for You placed me here,

I say all this without a tinge of fear.

These words I know You’ve well heard,

But with my plea have You concurred?
