His Last Breath! ! !

Have mercy Lord! help me in unlearning thoughts, weary, injured, bleeding thoughts! I can't forget that painful time, that horrid sight, that silent, solemn, moonless night, when mind was full of unknown fears, shaky hopes, and wishful prayers... Have mercy God! can I forget those passing moments when he was counting his noble, worthy, lively breaths- those lively breaths which were losing by and by the warmth of life. Then passed the time and passed the night there came at last his last breath… with the birth of the day a Sun was dying to rise again in a blind vale, the valley of the pious souls… since then O Lord, my eyes are probing in the dark to see him again but all in vain… Much time has passed But still my mind Is conscious Of the ups and downs Of treasured but his last breath
