My eyelids are heavy
Tear stains on my cheeks
Fear overcomes me and I panic
Not wanting to go this way
Alone and frightened
Sirens sound in the distance
Help coming too late
I close me eyes as I take my last breath
And light surrounds me
A few seconds go by and I feel at peace
I feel someone holding my hand
brushing my hair from my face
Hugging me with love
I wonder who this pure soul is
How they stopped to help a dying stranger
I try to move my head in their direction
My vision is blurry, but I can see her perfectly
A child with wings
"Don't be afraid."
"You are safe and loved,
it's time to come home."
The whispered words of an angel
A smile curves my lips
I wait for my ending-beginning
And as I enter the Pearly gates
He whispers "Welcome back"
