Sometimes Death Can Be a Blessing
Sometimes death can be a blessing, as a child I didn't know what it was like being around anyone dying. I visited my uncle Tom; We were kept busy. It was afterward at the funeral home I saw them. For a child something like that is very scary. Sometimes death can be blessing.
Sometimes death can be a blessing, years later as a young adult, I didn't see it that way. 'Til I started working in a hospital with patients, then somehow with the Lord's Grace, I was growing. The message was becoming more clear to me. Sometimes death can be a blessing.
Sometimes death can be a blessing, after working there for awhile on other floors. I found an opening on the heart and cancer floor, not knowing at the time I would understand why. Working with my patients, seeing how they healed, and some not. It was becoming so clear now and why. Sometimes death can be a blessing.
Sometimes death can be a blessing, a friend of mine, asked me about my parents. I told him how my Dad was doing and my Mom. He said something to me that took me by surprise, I didn't really want to hear that, but he is right. It really hurt to hear it, but deep in my heart, it's quite true. I knew he meant well with it, it still hurts to hear it. He said: Sometimes death can be a blessing. Sometimes death can be a blessing.
Author's Notes: While I was working at the hospital as a Nurse's Aide,I didn't see it that way. I saw and viewed death as a mean cruel monster. Now, I see it so differently . I've seen death and hear it. I have been with patients that were passing away. Seen their pain and suffering. It hurts so much, but one can understand why they're ready to go.
