One Breath Closer Holding close to the edge of #life, Fingers curled, grasping tight, Whispering voices, so sweet, so soft, Like twinkling bells, and silken cloth, They whisper softly in your ear, "the time to go is drawing near" They sing, they sing, of a promised land, Of love and forgiveness, hand in hand, A golden valley, a silver sea, A sky of sapphire, wide and free, A place of comfort, a place of peace, A world of forgiveness, where evil has ceased, A place where #life is ended, and brought anew, The world of Christ, of God, of truth, Each breath you take, it draws you near, for it is one step closer, you need not fear, One breath closer, a step away, from the world of heaven, of endless days, Holding close to the edge of #life, Fingers curled, grasping tight, Whispering voices, so sweet, so soft, Like twinkling bells, and silken cloth, They whisper softly in your ear, "the time to go is finally here" Slowly, gently, your hands let go, yourself carried on wings of sun and snow, And looking down from far above, you smile, full of joy and love, Watching closely over those held dear, for you are one breath closer, one step near. ~Copyright by #pmcastillo
