I saw Your Spirit Last

Today the Angels cried softly right along with me.
They knew that you courted death just to be pain free.
As it became a constant in this life, you see.
Suffering came each day and would not let you be.


The Lord watched you each hour, as you fought alone.
He knew just what he had to do, to take your spirit home.
While you tried to sleep that night, I heard you softly moan.
As your heart just gave out, and you traveled home alone.

I saw your spirit leave the room, moving toward a light.
Rising with a fluid grace, it was a peaceful sight.
The body left on the bed, is a testament to all.
When your heart knows our Lord, your spirit hears His call.
