A Dying Wish

Don't Forget.

"Hold On Grandpa.

 Just Hang On.

 The Ambulance Will Be Here.

 Please Grandpa Don't Die.

 He Whispers To Me.

 Promise Me You Will.

 Keep A Old Mans Wish?

 I Tell Him In Tears....Yes Grandpa I Will.

 There In My Hands Was Someone Precious.

 Someone I Could Not Save.

 I Tried So Hard To Get Him To Breath.

 But The Life Just Escaped....Silently.

 

 A Cars Headlights Flash As It Goes By The Wreck.

 And A Memory Of Him Catches The Moment.

 A Time Where We Use To Laugh Together.

 Stories He Used To Tell Me When I Was A Kid.

 I Used To Think I Could Save Anyone.

 But I Found Out That I'm No God.

 My Resurrection Skills Are Not Real.

 The Imagination Disappeared In Seconds.

 Days Go By After His Death.

 Standing At His Grave Crying.

 I Remember A Dying Wish Of An Old Man.

 And That Wish Was.....To Be Happy."

 Life Is So Precious So Make Time To Enjoy It

 Cause You Only Get One.

Such a sad, and yet beautiful poem… I love how that even though it was simple, it conveyed a deep emotion. One thing, though; it's "wreck," not "wreak."
