Breathe in my brother
Your times has come
To break free
Of what we've become.

Sent above
In gathering haste
On your bedside
We sit and wait.

It's sad, I know
Your soul is bare
But happy to be
Released from here.

A lost soul
Now to be found
Your wrists and ankles
No longer bound.

This is based a little on slavery and any type of discrimination. It can work with any situation though where a loved one is on their death bed. Enjoy!
