it could take months or years, it could be
over in a moment.
it could be once his fears have gone he'll
simply slip away.
perhaps he's only frightened now, so much he
loathes the notion
of such as death. he might somehow believe
that on the day
when he has died, he'll be no more. (as if his
soul could vanish!)
tho flesh aside, the spirit soars as free
as any bird,
perhaps he need convincing of this Truth to
ease the panic;
not guarantees or promises that hint he might
be cured.
it could take days or weeks before he
finally surrenders
so we must pray and speak the truth, not claiming
otherwise.
it could be he just needs us to be there, and
to be tender
'ere he can trust the freedom waiting for him
when he dies.
