Hospital beds come too quickly these days
I saw her just lay there
Fighting for her last look at love

All she wanted was to see beauty in her existence
She never knew
Death came like a thief to break her free

And carry her to life
It stole her from all that she loved
And saved her from what could have come.

After all of this
I know
She saw a door standing open

With lights and jewels, and fields forever
Let her braid a flower in her hair
(And there stood the Christ)

She never knew she would see you this soon.
