Members gathered round
The body was growing lifeless
Breathing for her became stiff
Trying to let go, but fighting the urge
A century made up the near lifeless organism
So much had been seen through those wrinkled eyes
The shriveled hands became looser every minute
Tired, poor dear, so exhausted
Breaths weren't breaths anymore
Spits of sound came out once every minute
One more noise there was
Here it comes; goodbye
A few long moments roll by
Heaven just earned another soul
But the body's chest opened and almost sat up
Another, last, clean, whole breath escaped
Then she sunk down and rested
