I seem, strangely,
at peace.
Has my precious life
been given
another lease?
It happened so quick
and now
I lay here
beyond the point
of panic
and fear.
He held my hand
by squeezing
it tight.
His face was full
of love
and light.
My last breath has arrived
because
of someone's evil deed.
Yet,
this paramedic treats me
like a friend in need.
I hang onto thoughts
of family
and many a friend
during this moment,
I sense,
has come to an end.
So I close my eyes
and follow
his lead
in an eternal embrace
of heavenly
godspeed.
You see,
Jesus is a chameleon
with an uncanny insight
and He stepped into the role
of a paramedic
tonight.
