Death, My Friend

The woman lies quietly in her hospital bed The intense pain inside her head, too much to bear Let alone the information the doctor just shared Suddenly, something in the corner stirred that made her stare Standing by the visitor’s chair, surrounded by a glaring light Appeared a beautiful angel with wings of fire, that burned so bright He held out his hand, and smiled like an old friend He was here to relive the poor woman of her impending death The woman smiled, and taking her last breath She took the angel’s hand and followed him into the glorious glow As she left her lifeless body on the hospital bed below.
