When I walked in
And saw you lying there
My heart sank
And flooded with fear
You were lying asleep in bed
With wires all around
But still looking peaceful
As if the angels were there
When your eyes opened
And brightness was there
You spotted me at the door
And exclaimed with joy
You were pleased to see me
As a friendly face was needed
Amongst the strangeness
Of the room you were in
Despite the circumstances
It was divine timing
In placing me where I was
To be with you in your final days
I am grateful for that time
To be a friend to you
In times of sickness
And somewhat confusion
I was able to be there
To be a smiling face
And to make you laugh
Amidst the sadness and pain
