Carry me, soft and gentle <br />Into sleeps arms and beyond <br />Painless at last, embrace me <br />In whatever must follow on <br />Whisper your lullaby in my ear <br />Let tenderness flow from the words <br />That slowly halt the beat <br />Make my last breath as sweet <br />As the first a newborn takes <br />Take my soul, so beautiful <br />And lay it with the angels <br />Let their wings curl around <br />The ones I leave behind me <br />Ease the loneliness they feel <br />As I step brave into the night<br /><br />Fiona Davidson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-prayer-for-the-dying-2/
