A bright light shines

I can hear my wife crying
My children crying too
The machine
Is breathing for me
And I don`t know what to do

I try to say
Look, I’m alright
But not a sound comes out
I’m trying to move my body
And inside
I start to shout

Then silence
as they leave the room
I lay there all alone
I’m praying that
it’s just a dream
I`ll wake up
and be home

A long time passes
A day or more
Or that’s how it appears
I hear footsteps
In the room, again
As I realize my fears

They play My favorite music
And say, how much they care
They tell me, that they miss me
And that they know, that I’m still there

Doctor, can he hear us
Or are we just, grasping at straws
The doctor says, I’ll do some tests
And then, I’ll tell you more

My wife comes back into the room
She holds my hand and sobs
The kids are crying now as well
As the nurses do their jobs

Please take as long as needed
To say your last goodbye’s
Panicking frantically
I, try opening my eyes

I’m shouting, I’m still here
As the breathing tubes took out
And Then the room goes silent
As my heart begins to pound

Then suddenly calmness
Like a blanket covers me
I feel I’m getting weaker
But, it doesn’t frighten me

A bright light shines
Upon my face
And suddenly, I see
not the room, that I was in
but a flower, covered field

And there running towards me
Smiling, filled with glee
Are all my long-passed relatives
Who were waiting there for me
