Last Night, I Died

Last night, I died And there was nobody there, There was no one for me to speak to Except for God; who I did in a prayer. I then asked God to forgive me And please, erase the sins of this man, Then I asked him to watch over my family and friends And then I asked him to please; hold my hand. And as I laid there dying Unto God I freely spoke, I thanked him for all the gifts that he gave me, And I thanked him for all the words that I wrote. Then I closed my eyes and I had memories But, not of the bad times, only the good, Then I thought of the people that I had loved and trusted, Not because I had to, but because I should. And while I was there still all alone Waiting for death to take my life, I began to cry, but not for myself But, for my son, and the woman I had called wife. Then I thought in Heaven who would walk with me When I arrived, in my brand new home, Then I thought who would be with me Or in Heaven I thought, would I walk alone. And as I waited for my life to end I worried as I began to think of everyone else, The sting of death really didn't bother me, But, only knowing, that I would die by myself. And then at last death, it came And there for me, no one had cried, Because, no one knew that I had left this world Because, no one knew that last night I had died. Randy L. McClave
