In this small life of mine
So much Beauty and Goodness
Has been given me
That I could die now quietly
Without regret
But as I am still alive
And as an Eternity of Silence perhaps waits somewhere soon before me
I might as well
Take joy in all the light and love and beauty and goodness and happiness
I have now
And go on for as long as I can be
Grateful to God
For what I still am now.
