Death Angel
As I lay resting on my bed I heard a rustling over my head
The air was still in my room and I sensed an image of impending doom
I closed my eyes and thought about my youth and the questions of life and seeking the truth
I loved my family and my friends; thought about a new beginning, but never an end
My face was fair, my body so strong, how could anything ever go wrong
I did the things that pleased me so, never thinking that one day I would go
The passing years sped by quickly but then one day I began to feel sickly
The doctor came to see what was the matter; he said the problem might be my bladder
The years continued to roll on by, but I soon realized that one day I would die
The family gathered to say goodbye and some of the women began to cry
Once alone I began to think of the end, and I suddenly realized that I had a new friend
She was white as snow and gave off a soft glow and said with great kindness “it’s time to go”
