Sandy, at the Cliff's Edge

As Sandy walked in her life

the call of its end

surprised her

and everyone else

who walked theirs alongside her.
 
 

The cliff's edge

that once seemed so far off

was suddenly well within sight.
 
 

As she came near her death

the cry of its finality

scared her

and everyone else

as fewer continued on beside her.
 
 

The cliff's edge

that once seemed so far off

was hitting too close to home.
 
 

But at her final feeble step

the comfort of His grasp

spared her

and no one else

for alone stood Jesus to guide her.
 
 

The cliff's edge

that once seemed so far off

now held no reason to fear.
 
 

And hand in hand they moved on

the calm of eternal life

promised her

and everyone else

who takes His hand just like her.
 
 

For Sandy, at the cliff's edge

that once seemed so far off

she found no edge at all.
