She.

She is leaving this world,

She knows that death is calling her.

She has had a good life,

She has a loving husband,

She has a loving family,

She knows they will miss her.

 

She wants to come to peace

In the place that she loves,

That cottage on the beach

Where the sun always shines,

That place far away,

With her husband at her side.

 

They arrive at her heaven on earth,

Their last days together full of joy,

Full of love, and full of laughter,

Until that day when she knew,

She knew her end was near,

And her life on this world was ended.

 

She lay on the beach with her lover,

His arms around her,

Looking out to the setting sun.

She slowly rose and walked to the sea.

As she walked into the sunset

She looked back and saw herself

Laying there, as if asleep,

In her loving husband’s arms.
