Aunt Betty

A mist was clouding my vision as I peered into the night 
You quickly walked away from me, moving out of sight
I saw you in the distance, standing just beyond my grasp
I heard your foot steps one by one, upon the cobbled path

A Hymn filtered through the trees, Rock of Ages filled the air
A compliment of Angels sang, with voices oh so fair
Whispered words beckoned, as you walked the cobbled stone
Then one by one your family appeared so you did not walk alone

I saw the faces of loved ones that I had not seen in years
The elated joy that beamed in them, I saw through sorrowful tears
For them it was a Reunion, with no more sad good-byes.
Your Mother and Father were also there, to reunite the family ties

Hand in hand you slowly walked, with a Sister at each side
Brothers followed behind you all, their joy they could not hide
And as it became apparent, that your time on Earth was through
You left your worldly body to be embraced by all that’s new
