As Death approaches my bed

As death approaches my bed
I shall welcome him like an old friend
But its your eyes I wish to see
As my final vision on earth
Its your smell I shall seek
In the final air I intake
As death approaches my bed
I shall hold your hand a final time
To remember the touch I missed
My entire lifetime.
Its your face I shall engrave
deep in my heart
To show God, the One above
the angel I met on earth.
As death approaches my bed
I shall bid farewell to all
And wait for you to come
at your own pace, into my arms
United above the earthly barriers
And forever enriched in love.
