the end of me

my heart beats so slow
as i lay flat on my back
been here for a while
from the heart attack
family come see me
one by one they cry
the last words are spoken
just before i die
my breath leaves my mouth
like a tribute to my life
my eyes close, so tired
time to see my wife
as i rise above the bed
i see myself lie dead
with family and doctors
standing around my bed
time for me to leave
this place i once called home
to the heavens up above
a new place for me to roam
i become part of all
the galaxies, time and stars
then i begin to fall
i descend to a empty plain
wher a man stands and waits
just behind him about ten feet tall
is the pearly gates
i walk slowly with my head held high
and greet the man so old
suddenly my soul starts to shake
my everything turns cold
leave this place and go on home
your duty is not done
my eyes open and i see hospital roof
another day has begun....
