If my reward is in Heaven, why do I persist in this realm?

Forty-three, will I see?
It is just a fortnight hence.
For in this life, only misery
Where is my recompense?

I have fulfilled needs
when for others needs arose
I have done many good deeds
when will I receive the payment owed?

For a laborer is worthy of his hire,
So the good book says.
Waiting for my funeral pyre,
For my reward will be delayed

Until Heaven I do reach
My reward is pending
For this the Bible also does teach
After life has ended.

So I wish for life to end.
Nothing more here to gain.
Good bye, my family and friends:
I can no longer endure this pain.
