She lay silent in her hospital bed
Surrounded by light, whispering softly
Her worry, pain, sorrow, darkness and dread
Long gone, comforter left her awfully
Tranquil like the peace of a gentle rain
Falling, soundless, on the earth’s tender soil
Murmuring calm through the beauty of souls
Yearning for the moment when He will reign
Laughing hues of grace that will never spoil
Knowing death is something our God controls
She smiles through watery eyes, reflecting
The surprise of a heart who is fading
Knowing her final breath is expecting
This to be the last one, she’s persuading
One more moment, one more smile, more alive
She dances to the tune, relishing life
Joy falls from her heart and soul, bringing praise
Of the One who knows her light will revive
When heaven opens the gate, healing strife
Pouring out love so strong it does amaze
She lingers in the sunset, joy ablaze
Her final night, she breathes, she hopes, she prays
Even in dreams, she pauses, death delays
Into the stars, on the moon, lights will gaze
Her last thoughts, her final hope, her last dream
Beckon from the silence, softly gasping
Memories that blush with beauty and grace
Her love, like the wind, kissing a sunbeam
Pours through her family, their hands clasping
Sure that her memory they will embrace
