My Last Request

Please don’t say that I gave up

Just say that I gave in.

Don’t say I lost the battle,

For it was God’s war to lose or win.

Please don’t say how good I was

But that I did my best

Just say I tried to what’s right

To give the most I could, not to do less.

Please don’t give me wings or judgement

That is for God to do.

I want no more than deserved

No extras, just my due.

Please don’t give me flowers or talk in harsh tone.

Don’t be concerned about me now

I’m well with God.
