Thinking about mortality

Thinking about mortality
Thinking about mortality as
More deaths are announced and
More grave illness pronounced and
The sands of my time seem to run
Faster and faster while
I move more slowly--
Kind of opposites occuring simultaneously--
I take refuge in
The Unchanging One
And
His Unchanging Word
And
Am comforted
And
Am strengthened
"He leads me in green pastures, besides still waters, restores my soul"
Rest in Him alone O my soul
