as it calmly folded of life combat
watched sadly as their souls sat

desperately only wanting to sleep
but then life had become so weak

all the pain that come to know
tries so hard not to let it show

knowing it's so very near the end
no longer a reason to pretend

and quickly it came as no surprise
looks around with searching eyes

a breath of death to comfort and ease
dawning of death but with dignity

life exhales slowly begins to smile
grateful eyes stare all the while

after a time as one fade into sleep
tuck in gently and begin to weep

while rests so quiet and at peace
death eludes with compassion .. at least

death eludes with compassion at least
while rests so quiet and at peace

tuck in gently and begin to weep
after a time as one fade into sleep

grateful eyes stare all the while
life exhales slowly begins to smile

dawning of death but with dignity
a breath of death to comfort and ease

looks around with searching eyes
and quickly it came as no surprise

no longer a reason to pretend
knowing it's so very near the end

tries so hard not to let it show
all the pain that come to know

but then life had become so weak
desperately only wanting to sleep

watched sadly as their souls sat
as it calmly folded of life combat
