My greatest fear as a child was old age.
I remember praying to God to allow me die at thirty. I can vividly recall telling my mom I don't want to be old but she gagged me. I was only but a child.
I detested wrinkles with everything in me.
But little did I know I was far from reality.
The desire of every man has been to grow old and prosper.
To even live to see the fifth generation.
To leave no regret while leaving the planet Earth.
Years later, I witnessed death of many youths.
I saw the grief buried in the eyes of their loved ones.
I never wanted my loved ones to go through such grief.
I changed my prayer point.
Now I want to live and die old,
I want to die empty,
To die leaving a legacy,
And God granted my request
