(Poem) Last twilight

Oh silver Twilight of the Moon How I wish I could see your beautiful light one final time As I lay here in the dark,a soft glow around,I hear people mother says maybe I'll pull through but the blood doth flow. Father says stay strong and their is still a chance.

But tonight I saw him ever closer ,the man in gold.

He wears a smile as gold and pure as light. I see him but my parents don't. He seems friendly. As I sit each night ,the man in gold approaches. He wears wings of gold and holds a book out to me.

The toll of the church bell doesn't bring me comfort,the doctor says their isn't much time. 4 days,8 days,12 days,my condition gets worse. But oh Lady twilight each night the man in gold ,gets closer and closer. Last night I saw my dog Rex who I haven't seen in years,he licked me,and sat at my side. I didn't understand it,but Rex is still here. 2 days later ,at the sound of the midnight bell tolls ,My cat lex came and sat at my side. I pet him and Rex,for the first time in a while,I cried and just sat their with them all night. Not fear or tears... Just calmness.

At the toll of the bell tonight,the man approaches me, looking at me softly reaching out a hand and gently touched my cheek. He looks at me with sad eyes. "It's time Liam,come home with me. To a world where your suffering is over. And you can sit with your pets and your family who missed you.."

I look at the man,not with fear but with a small smile and a brave face. "Will I be free of pain and suffering,will mom and dad not have to watch me suffer anymore?"

The man in gold ,with his eyes a small heart as he takes my hand. "No Liam,no more fear,no more pain. Your mommy and daddy won't have to worry anymore. Your coming home." Liam smiles for the first time in a long time"who are you Mr?" The grim reaper looks at him walking to the fields of freedom and looks at him "My name ... It's been so long and I go by so many. But you can call me whatever you wish." Liam smiles softly "I'm going to call you my friend Goldy." The grim reaper smiles as Liam's Grandma takes his hand "Alright then Liam,I am Goldy,and you are my friend. I'll never forget you".
