" Lasting Sleep "

I was touched by an Angel, not too long ago,

Time in life was ending they wanted me to know.

As I laid there reminiscing, in all days gone by,

The serenity of Love once had brings tears to my eyes.

As my eyes now seem heavy, sleepy I seem to be,

Visions around me dim, I no longer do see.

Serenity of peace in my heart, linger so deep,

Drifting off to dreamland in long lasting sleep.

An aura of beauty from love every where,

A strong scent of flowers seem to fill the air.

An immortal feel seems to fill my soul,

Images of animals and people I knew long ago.

Am I in dreamland with memories I keep,

Or am I flying with angels, in Heavens long lasting sleep.
