Near Death Vow
She prayed each night
For a sign that life
Would improve her lonely plight
Night after night
She prayed and prayed
Until she heard a voice one day
It asked to be invited in
So he could offer her a blessing
And when she did she felt regret
As she felt cold hards around her neck
And as she gasped and fought for breath
This demon from the hellish depths
Throttled her very life essence out
And as she was fading from sight
She closed her eyes and prepared herself
And vowed to live God in this life and the next
When the hands around her neck went loose
And as she viewed around the room
A bright sight and a figure of iridescent light
Stood over the demon that was no longer alive
Slain by this angel with a lightning whip
A crack and flash of light had done the trick
The lifeless demon had been parted in two
From devilish head to twisted toes
The wretched creatures life of woe
Was now at an end.
The angel turned and looked at the woman
And words filled her head without it uttering a sound
You, when very close to death vowed your allegiance to God
And this is something God does not forget
You may have thought you were forsaken
But in the end you were mistaken
But know that signs of a better life
Are everywhere, if you look they're rife
Stop depending on divine intervention to improve your lot
You have a life and free will thanks to God
Now go look and discover all you need
Be the light and the love for all to see
Sow hope, kindness and compassionate seeds
And you will the reap the life you need
You only get out what you put in
When desperate the demons will trick their way in
So be cautious in all you do
And know that God is always within you.
The angel left fading away
Leaving the woman going over what it had to say
The demon was gone
And now she was alone
What to do now she could not say
But she would now endeavour to make a change
And go finding the signs that would bring about for her a new age.
