Near Death

All the happiness's of her life having long since past As all of her own lots in this life have now been cast Seemingly so all alone in that dark and cold hospital room Most of you too would get this sudden sense of doom But she was not alone on that particular day As Father Shapiro stopped by all in a moment to pray Opening the blinds and so filling the room with light As all the trees and birds were now revealed in sight Yet still not a movement of sort or any such kind of sign As Father blessed her, noting, "Mary, all will be fine" Blessing her body with Holy Water while saying a prayer I could just sense the Holy Spirit emanating right there No she was not alone on this much discernible day For the Lord Jesus had come and He had had His say For that room was just filled with His Glory and all of His Grace And Mary knew His Story for I could see it on her face
