Meeting God At the Ocean

She sat upon the rocks of the golden shore, hearing the waves of the ocean's roar. She remembered a time when she was young, before this cancer had taken her lung. She sat there gazing out at the ocean, thinking if her family's loving devotion. She thought of her husband as her best friend, hoping his heart would someday mend. He fought the battle with her each day, hoping this cancer would go away. Her doctor told her I'm sorry there is no hope, somehow she had managed to deal with it and cope. The waves were choppy, the tide was high, as she looked at the seagulls slowly fly by. She felt at peace at this scene of nature, as she somehow knew she would meet her maker. The lighthouse was shining off in the distance, as her body was fighting an agonizing resistance. She went to the ocean to be closer to God, for the cancer she was fighting she could not beat the odds. An angel sat beside her to comfort her with all she endured, Knowing when she went to Heaven she would be cured. It was'nt long after she had passed away, where the cancer no longer had ate her away. Now she has the home she's always wanted, where her body is no longer tired or taunted. Her memory will always be etched in my mind, In Heaven with God she will forever shine.
