Last Breath

Folder: 
2002 Poetry

I lay on my bed with death just a breath away

Like a ship I drift with the tide, going out in the bay

Barely hearing the voices of my family around me

Rejoicing deep inside as my soul is set free



I slowly rise, and can see those below

And though they are sad my spirit is aglow

For my pain is gone and a new journey begins

Somehow knowing I've been forgiven of my sins



Those that have gone before me are here to say hello

Making me feel warm with all the love they bestow

I have no fears, and move on with great anticipation

For I know now that I go to my salvation



Do not weep for me for I go to where we all belong

I see into your hearts and I know you will be strong

I'm off to see my creator and start a new endeavor

For I did not die, and will now live forever
