Overtime
Overtime
The final flash of whiteness
overcomes your still body,
as you lay lifeless in these tedious moments
waiting for your angel to take you away.
Reminiscing on your socializing at the park,
until you are unaware that abruptly
your spirit penetrates the clouds,
continually gliding so swiftly,
leaving your loved ones below asking why.
Why so soon must you leave?
Why is this occurring?
Questions captivate the minds,
unable to be answered.
Eternal happiness is a gift you receive
as your loved ones on Earth temporarily grieve.
In a better place is where you hail,
a place without evil,
a place without sorrow.
The life you obtain
is not yet finished.
You wish to inform those who suffer,
to cease their loneliness and distress,
for you have been reborn.
