Testimony of saving faith for Christians only
I was raised in a Christian family, but strayed as a young adult. I re-dedicated my life to the Lord in 1976 and have never looked back. Serving the Lord is a daily joy, and the fringe benefits are "out of this world!"

About the Poet
IN MEMORIAM
I'm just a servant of the Lord that wants to magnify Him
through poetry,
and to cause others to focus on Him.

Last Request

 

If ever my life is a graph upon the screen
suspended by drips of hope,
metered by hissing machines~
if my indigo gaze and expression stays the same,
you have my permission~
take the life-line from my vein.

If the indignity of disease leaves
a tenuous sheath upon my brittle frame,
and the laughter of my days is gone~
then let me go.

Don't preserve me in your selfishness,
disregard the pulse of confusion.
When all is undone,
tranquility will be my status.
Don't be ashamed;
unhook the apparatus,

and wait ____________________________
