Prayer for today (12/9/15)

Years have withered this assemblage away. I can no longer hear the lion's roar. I can smell the flower, but not as before, nor do I taste the aura of life. My eyes no longer see the actions of the wind. I am waiting for God to take me in. Still, I remember the things I have sought. I remember the words I have been taught. The words that God has placed within my heart. A song that will last forever. For Jesus, I thank, oh God.
