The Day We Met

The deafening tears in the hallway  
As whispers echo in the distance  
Screams approaching the doorway  
I'm fading out of existence  
I hear the sound of a screeching door  
As the nurse let my family in  
The shuffling of shoes on the floor  
As drool runs slowly down my chin  
I feel the moisture from his tears  
From a face I can't remember  
I love you dad is all I hear  
Sounds of his voice so familiar  
Can't place where I know him from  
My eyes still unable to open  
But my heart is soothed with comfort  
Memories coming back soon I'm hoping  
Dark and gray consume my vision  
As I try to form some words to say  
Approaching me now my wife's mission  
Nothing could ever stand in her way  
I can hear her whisper in my ear  
As she places her hand on my chest  
Don't leave me now I love you dear  
As I force out words with my final breath  
I love you too sweetie  
You've always been my angel  
Please move forward without me  
I know this must be painful  
All the things I wish I could say  
As my body this darkness now consumes  
And at that moment I floated away  
And from above I saw the whole room  
All this love I felt that filled my life  
My body laying on my deathbed  
My son standing next to my kneeling wife  
As beautiful and precious as the day we met
