Who I Am

Close your eyes now
Don’t be afraid
I’m here to guide you
You won’t get lost
I’ll keep you safe

I know that you’re in pain
But you don’t have to be
Just take my hand
And relief will wash through you
You can trust me

Please, don’t cry
It is your time
You’re not leaving anyone behind
They’ll live on
Everything will be all right

You’ve served your purpose
Now you can rest your mind
You can be free of this world
Just take my hand
And come with me

Your Father is waiting for you
The gates of paradise
Are open for you
Let go of this life
And follow me

There is no need to fear
You know who I am
I’ve been with you since birth
To guide you through life
And now I’m your Angel of Death

    wonderful

    I see you haven't lost you knack for poetry. Truly a wonderful description of my favorite Angel. Just let me know if you're going to pay him a visit personally, ok?

    This was completely different from what else I've read. I haven't seen Death portrayed so kindly, and sweetly before. This was great, peaceful too.

    Thanks for entering.
    Best of Luck!

    I really liked this piece. The telling of our final moments and our uncertainty and hesitation to move on. "Please, don’t cry
    It is your time
    You’re not leaving anyone behind" is my favorite part. We dont want to leave the ones we love behind and i can see how it would be hard to leave and never be with them again. Great write, good luck in the contest.
