Embracing Death

Death came creeping out of the
mists,
Embracing me with all of her
might.
Showing me there is a much better
place,
Where there is marvelous rainbows and
light.

Where God and Jesus sit on their thrones 
of gold,
With angels flying with their magnificent
gigantic wings.
Where there is no hate, screaming, lying
or crying,
Just uncondtional love, music, beauty, and
singing.

Where people fall fast asleep on swinging
stars,
And others look down on us from the colors of
the clouds.
Where children smile, laugh and play
happily,
And magestic animals are scattered all
around.

The waves of the crystal clear turquise
waters,
Spray and splash my bare, tiny, little
feet.
Not a soul here ever goes to bed 
hungry,
Everyone here always has enough to 
eat.

Lord, if this is just another glorious dream
sent by You,
Please don't let me see the early morning
light.
If You decide to take me right here and
now,
I promise Lord, I won't put up a fight.
