Her Blessings At Death

(STORY) (5/22/12) She was laying in her hospice bed She knew in a short time she would be dead She had no fear of death you see She waited for it patiently. She knew she lived a good long life She was a daughter, a sister, a mother , a wife. Regrets- she knew she had none GOD had blessed her with a wonderful son A faith so strong in GOD above And she showered family and friends with tenderness and love. She was loved by everyone around In her spirit and heart true love they found. The most gentlest person you’d ever want to meet Knowing her was such a treat. When she went for her physical that year The doctors found what they feared A cancer cell growing so rapidly It was something they did not foresee. She showed no signs as many do But they knew her life was through. Her family was with her 24/7 They knew soon she’d be in heaven. The hospital corridors were filled with people And bells were ringing from all the steeples. She was not a woman of fortune and fame And of nothing in her life did she feel ashamed. Just a loving heart so pure and true That she shared it with everyone she knew. They say she died in her sleep, as everyone began to weep. But before she died - she had told her son “tell the world- LOVES JUST BEGUN’.
