Not Enough Time
It was a day in June I'd say around noon. I heard the
knock my dog began to bark. Walking to the door I
hear my sisters voice unlike before,she comes through
the door tears dropping on the floor. For a brother
you know that's hard to ignore, she said sit lets
talk I knew this was gonna be extreme I took her
by her hands and said tell me I pled. It's dad
she said. So many thoughts start going through my head.
All this don't make sense we had a cookout the day before.
He is in the hospital and we don't know what for. What's
the room number and what floor? I grabbed my keys and out
the door pedal to the floor cars starting to roar, flying
like a eagle this feeling you can't ignore. Going up the
elevator floor four I catch the doctor walking out the
door. That's my father in there,I said what's wrong with
him he was fine before stronger then ever need I say more.
Doc says son walk with me your father has pneumonia both
lungs needs oxygen to breath. We ran some tests we also
found theres cancer in him I fell to the floor the pains
so powerful I could not talk I could not walk it took
all I had in me to say doc how long will he be with me?
Six months to a year. I said your crazy get outta here. In
less then a month I buried my dad before he passed
he said, Life is what you make it you behave stay focused
do not worry for me I will be in heaven watching
and you will always be with me.
