Today
This poem is about my family and I watching my little girl almost choke to death and the emotion that were felt during and after...
I looked death in the eyes TODAY and I was neither brave, valiant or as strong as I sometimes act
TODAY I felt the weakness of mortality overcome every ounce of strength I could muster
I looked death in the eyes TODAY
his face was one of rage, his eyes were as deep as the ocean
he glared back at me as he held a life in one hand, my heart in the other
while my family suddenly became overcome wit emotion
his grip intensely suffocating, constricting with her every inhale
he stared at me as I begged and groveled mercifully all.. to no avail
her life and my heart were slowly deteriorating
my fiancé’s crying, my son’s to young to understand
that this is a matter of life and death
please, please death I beg of you just give us another chance
in times as desperate as these most would pray to GOD
TODAY, I looked into deaths eyes..
and even though my baby girls life was spared
HE LET ME KNOW WHO"S IN CHARGE!
