Angel of Death

I see that they are grieving, But I know I'll be ok, The Angel sitting next to me, Has come to take away... The doubts that I am having, All the pain that I am in, Forgiving my discretions, And the last time that I sinned... The loved ones that surround me, Drown in tears of disbelief, As I try and raise my hand, To bring some solace to their grief... But the rhythm of deep thumping, Of my heartbeat thru the bed, Resonates a fading frequency, That's slowing down instead... As the Angel helped me rise, After taking my last breath, Took a look into my eyes, And blessed the body that was left I don't know just what I'm feeling, But I'm glad it took so long, As I float above the ceiling, Filling gospel with my song... In the distance I see heaven, Just beyond some pearly gates, And I hope the lord is willing, To forgive all my mistakes... I'll miss my friends and family, But dare not turn around, As they celebrate the life of me, Without making a sound... You see there's something deeper, So someday they'll understand, When their Angel becomes keeper, They will gently take their hand... And point in a direction, That they'be never seen before, Which may seem like reflections, Looking thru another door... Immaculate attire, And the robe that I am in, Will never cast a shadow, Since the light comes from within... Now I'm on the other side, With angels next to me, Though my body may have died, An angel set me free...
