The Gates of Death

Reading to him line after line Word after word She closely watches him as he sleeps Pain free and peaceful Comfortable and prepared Heart rate fading Color changing Temperature cooling Respirations irregular, apneic, shallow....repeats. Then stops The man who only talked of God The man who only believed in One The man who lived his life by His words The spirit rises There is calmness in the room The heaven's gates open, welcoming him to a celebration Forever home with his Father
