Let me live long enough to understand <br />the goodness of life. <br /> <br />Let me live long enough to understand <br />the true bidding of God. <br /> <br />Let me live long enough to put His <br />word to practice. <br /> <br />Let me live long enough to have only <br />desires of right and not that is <br />found in the valley of darkness. <br /> <br /> <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-deal-with-death/
