Wake Up

I wrote this for my grandfather when he passed away.

Wake Up

 

You lye down in bed, as if you were dead.

Will you ever wake up from your awful dream?

Please I’m begging you, don’t leave me.

You don’t deserve to leave this way.

Please wake up, wake up today.

You were meant to live on.

Can’t you see, God wants you to stay here for me.

Fight the pain, for if you do your health will gain.

The disease within you has killed many people.

Yet I believe with the power you behold anything is possible.

You can fight it, I know you can.

Your strong, you can trust me, I’m never wrong.

Believe in yourself as you told me too.

Please just wake up, wake up today.

I hear your heart beating.

Your alive I know you are.

Open your eyes show I’m not mistaken.

Have you finally awaken?

I guess I will never see you again.

So I suppose I’m leaving for now and forever.

Wait, I see you’ve opened your eyes.

Your mouth starts to move, words departure as,

You say “I’m here for you, I won’t ever leave.”

At first my tears started disappearing from my eyes,

And no more did you see or hear my cries.

Then with a sudden rush of wind.

I see you close your eyes and die.

“NO,” I yell from the top of my lungs.

Wake up, Wake up, don’t leave me this way.

All of a sudden, I hear your voice come back,

“I didn’t leave you I will always be right above you.”

So I shouldn’t say wake up,

For you yourself have become my guardian from above.
