Frailty

My eye sight will fade with time this I feel is true. 

I pray my memory can hold till the end of my days. 

When my body weakens to the point at which no more time is left for me

When all I can see is pitch black darkness.

 I hope to think back to my memories I have of you. 

Might I be able to see you as if you were standing before me. 

Allowing me to view the image of  your beauty when all my eyes can see is nothing. 

I will forever call you my angel. 

For a moment in time you graced me with your presence.

 This is what I will remember when I think of you.

 only the good moments will be held tightly everything else will be let go.

know I will wait for you on the other side. 

If you past before me I hope to see you waiting for me.

Beyond the gates of eternity our ailments are lifted we are made brand new

A chance for happiness without the troubles of that come with life. 

◄ Life

Would you let me take control ►

This is lovely. I thought it would work so well as three verses of five lines each, and with the final two lines in the last verse switched in order. But it is lovely even as it is.
