Short Life

I know You want me, God, to think of You,
to set aside myself and worldly ways,
and care about in life what's really true,
and not just waste away the passing days.
Life is too short to not just stop and pray,
a moment between two eternities,
a trip when we poor pilgrims try to stay
afloat amidst a stream of stormy seas.
I must admire Your mystery masterpiece,
it's comforting to know I am a part,
that I can make my spiritual strength increase
by hearing clear Your voice within my heart.
May I stay with You, Lord, for life is short,
let me steer straight a course into Your port.
