As I Lie Dying (A Different Look)

As the sun slowly sinks so my life sinks with it
All my dreams, my hopes, my life long ambitions
They are all gathered around me to give comfort
I have no gold or money, no wealth amassed
My wealth is my family giving love to the last
I curse not for time taken away from me
But I give thanks to the last for this life
This life of love and goodness all around
There is a sadness that I must leave my beloved family
But I know that they are all in good hands
They will look out for each other at all times
Already I can feel the angels gathering to guide me home
And peace settles around my barely beating heart
It is at these last moments of life I see my family
As the last breath of life slips from my body
I can see the angels rushing to collect me
