Sonnet To My Farewell Poem by Randy McClave

Last night I was told that I would walk with GOD,
Then last night I spoke my final farewell;
I worried and I cried, I was depressed, and I felt very odd
It was my time to die, now only in the memories of others will I dwell.
In the past I had never believed in a life after death
There was no GOD, there was luck and freewill and energy,
But; I was now dying and I was breathing my very last breath
Now I I believed in God, and fate, and sadly my own blasphemy.
I then promised, when I go to bed now I will always say my prayers
Who knows when or if, it will be my time for me to die,
I feel now somewhat relived from all of my troubles and cares
Now my today's and my tomorrow's they no longer terrify.
In the end, miraculous I survived the doctors and my stroke,
Maybe it was a test by GOD; or maybe it was just a cruel joke.
