Oratio: When It’s Time

When the Lord
calls me home
may I have the courage
to let go
may I have the peace
of knowing
that I did my best to love
the grace to accept
forgivenes for my mistakes
may I have Christ in my heart
to comfort and welcome me
into his kingdom
and may those I leave behind
be better for having known
the little bit of goodness
that I added to this world
through Him

~Robert Van Valkenburgh
