It was dark in the room Except for the red glow of machines A comfortable quiet broken by their hum And she was in her own dreams I guess she was old in earth years But as she lay on the bed in that room A calmness came and erased all fears And removed any sign of gloom As she lay in the quietness A smile spread over her face Eyes opened and glowed with brightness At what she saw in outer space He has come to visit me To tell me he still cares I will follow where he will lead And I know he answers my prayers Her face had the glow of youth dew Not a wrinkle to be seen We wished we could see what she saw From the time of must have been The room became very quiet As she got ready to meet him No one would want to stop it And the angels took her to meet him She left us with calmness and grace Never even looking back The serenity spread over her face She is living with angels in fact |

Soothing and comforting are words that describe this one very well. Such a wonderful write this is, take care! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

This is so beautiful and comforting. I enjoyed it! Sauni Sauni :) Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps |

Very mellow and comforting write. I love the images of peaceful resolution in this one and it gives much hope as to just how quietly we might be able to join "him". Loved the read and the tranquility it brings. Thank you. |
