A Prayer For The Dying Poem by Fiona Davidson
A Prayer For The Dying
Carry me, soft and gentle
Into sleeps arms and beyond
Painless at last, embrace me
In whatever must follow on
Whisper your lullaby in my ear
Let tenderness flow from the words
That slowly halt the beat
Make my last breath as sweet
As the first a newborn takes
Take my soul, so beautiful
And lay it with the angels
Let their wings curl around
The ones I leave behind me
Ease the loneliness they feel
As I step brave into the night
'Let their wings curl around The ones I leave behind me Ease the loneliness they feel As I step brave into the night..' Moving, gentle and pure words..a beautiful prayer, Fiona.thanks for sharing. Yelena M.
