A wise person thinks a lot about death (Ecclesiastes 7:4; NLT).
Teach us to realise the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom (Psalm 90:12; NLT).
The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7; NIV).

Lord,
We’re dying –
Sick or well,
Death comes a little closer
To us all
Each day.
Please help us
To fix our hearts on you
Until life’s end,
When we will reunite
With you
For evermore.
