Hugged by an angel in the night,
No tunnel long or dazzling light,
To guide her to her journey’s end,
Just the embrace of a loving friend,
When final day came she’d no fear,
The kind friend had whispered in her ear,
I’m here for you is all I’ll say,
So be at peace and on your way,
Reassured she didn’t struggle, just a tiny gasp,
As from this world to the next she passed.
