My time had come
I saw the candelabra
Flickering through the glass
Burning away so brightly
I wondered if it would last
Like my life before me
Beating away each day
The flames burned much faster
As suddenly they burned away
The room fell in darkness
No shadows on the wall
With the night all around me
I heard those angels call
They beckoned me to follow
In denial i screamed no!
Why should i be weak
Too weak now to let go
The force over powered me
As their wings soon took hold
Was this supposed to happen
I thought they took the old
Traveling through the darkness
My time on earth was done
Sailing past the milky way
I felt the heat of the burning sun
There my life before me
Had crumbled into glass
My life was all now over
In my hand was heavens pass.
