It was I who allowed you to see!

Birthed from a dream!

i gazed out and  I saw my family suffering,
there clothes in tatters, bills still late with the creditors hovering
where did I go wrong and when did I run out of time?
where did I misplace that bright future that was everyone said was mine?
i didn't even see the punch coming,
last I knew I was on my feet running
so just when did I get knocked out,  not to get up?
i never in my mind thought my life would end so arubt

so as I lay here and observe my wife over me, grief stricken, hurt and unconsolable
the urge to hold her and comfort her is intolerable
to never once again smell her sweet, overpowering scent
to never spend another night loving her, laying in her arms well spent
i loved her with all that was in my soul,
so how could I leave her now in a world so cold

how could I leave her with three boy-childs still not grown and full of rage,
who's going to be here now to keep them on track and on the same page
to watch them finish school, to teach them to be men,
and to grow from being just there father, to being there best friend

i ask myself these questions and alot more,
however the images fade quickly, as I with a loud thud hit the floor
awoken from my solemn but disturbing slumber,
every one of my sences tell me I was a goner
so now I sigh in relief to see it was but a dream
my life is not yet over so it seems

i have one more moment to set things right,
you want see me heading for the light
I have so much still left undone,
so I better get moving, and go on the run

but first things first, let me kiss and hold my dear wife
and pray to my savior, my lord jesus christ
"THANK YOU LORD FOR NOT GIVING UP ON ME",
it was then I heard softly in a whisper of wind,
"YOUR WELCOME MY DEAR CHILD, AS IT WAS I WHO ALLOWED YOU TO SEE!!!!"
