Dying day

He is lying there
His last days are dawning
Time flys
It's almost a new morning
His eyes have dried
He can't can't cry no more

His healthy body
And healthy mind
Are being taken
To short a time

He's not sure how he got where he did
And he's riddled with illness
No immunity to it

He watches his loved ones go through the motion
Their counting his days
As he watches them closing

He sees their tired
Recognises the strain
He is helpless
In regards of their pain

He looks at their smiles
Hard to put on their face
But he sees the love there
It could never be replaced

He looks at his child
He looks down at his son
And he knows that in his life
It's the one thing he won

Imagines his son on his wedding day
Imagines the features of his future grandsons face
And try's to reason
Why he has to leave this place

There's no strength to fight
Trust me he tried

He would have never given up
But the illness was to strong
And wouldn't subside

And on his last day
He felt better than ever

Kissed his wife
And said I'll live you forever

The surprise on her face
At his strength on this day

Put his son beside him
And told him home truths
Watched them walk out for the last time of
His hospital room

Then he called the nurse
To open his blinds
Let the sun shine upon him
Light filled the room

And kissed to his lips a smile

As he finally closed his eyes
