I Had Died

I read the obituaries where I had died I looked beside me and Death was not at my side I felt so sad and lonely that I almost cried Why about my death had others had lied My ex-wife called my family and she was very sad She was sorry that I was gone and she felt bad She said I was the only true love that she ever had Then she found out I was alive, and she got mad My son then called after he read the news He had cried and cried and went through boxes of tissues He was sad and distraught and also confused He didn't know that I was sick so he wasn't amused My friends then called one after another Then I got a call from a sister and then my brother So happy the news wasn't read by my mother It wasn't I who died, but sadly it was some other, Of course I am here and I am still alive And I hope for many more years I will survive My friendship and my love it will also thrive And my friendship to others I hope not to deprive.
