I am one

He has come for me today

It is my time to say good bye,

But not for long you see. 

It is never for very long that we say goodbye. 

He stands by me as i take my last breath as we know it

My smile always with you, my heart beats slow 

My fluttering eyes no longer open

He takes my hand now,

Guiding me to a new place

it's a place i have never seen before, high above the living

i am as one should be

In the after life i am told, 

There are no rules but 1. 

watch over the ones that you love

Make their life happy with thoughts of you

God has taken me now. 

It is my sworn duty to follow him, 

As he will now show me the light in the distance.

i am free now, my spirit to go where ever it feels. 

i am here with you as the days go on 

Minds are filled with memories of me. 

god... he has come for me. holding your hand

i must leave now. don't let the flood gates come yet

as only happy thoughts of me are filled in your head.

Obviously extremely touching and full of grey symbols.
That's not what jumped out though. I tend to dig deep but the fact that he was God in the second to last stanza and 'god' in the last stanza where you are WITH him shows a casual stance on the one who is called I am.

Nice work
