Facing Death <br /> <br />'O hoary Age, of fear you bear no trace, <br />Though dreadful Death you soon will have to face: <br />With weighty years ecumbered, <br />Your days are now numbered: <br />A foot of yours is almost in the grave; <br />How long can you the other hope to save? ' <br /> <br />'If I was never cause for 'dread' to spread, <br />What cause have I Death to ever dread? <br />My work here is done; <br />My life's aim is won: <br />If God has further use for me above, <br />I'll deem it but a signal of his love'.<br /><br />Dr. Tulsi Hanumanthu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/facing-death/
