In His Arms
A sharp pain, shortness of breath
loss of sight, darkness surrounds
I lay still slowly dying
Parametics arrive
They kept me here
Until i let go
And my life ended
All i can see is darkness
ten minutes later in the I.C.U.
The doctors say welcome back
We nearly lost you
By my side lays my father
He had been here in it all
He was praying with tears running down his face
I heard him say
If anyone has to go it should be me
Not my daughter let her live
I hurt her enough i deserve it the most
Over and over he prayed
But it wasnt enough
The heart attack was strong
Even if they brought me back
It didnt make a difference
My father held me in his arms
Hour upon hour
And later in the day
I died again
This time never waking up again
But i didnt die alone
My father was with me
Every step of the way
I left this world in his arms
