Life Support Is Love Apparatus

She came to me DOA A victim of a devastating wreck Her angelic face was pale in color and her eyes were a beautiful blue I applied every ounce of energy within me to resuscitate her shouting at times come on don't you quit on me I was such a little fish in a big pond and still green behind the gills Everyone I trusted to assist me committed mutiny To much effort to save a life or to involved with their own agendas I was granted a miracle that day a true blessing she started coming around I was never happier never so relieved but still unsure of what would come next I stood there beside her trembling with fear my mind was mush and I was exhausted She was scared and in pain I told her don't be afraid I'm here to help She trusted me and reached out for my hand I held her for as long as I could only turning away for something to comfort her with but before I got the chance to place it on her she was gone I cried tears that I never would have believed existed I can't forget her face or those eyes in such need of me In all of my years she was the first and only one She is gone now but she'll live on forever It’s like she became a part of me Keeping me strong in my faith and I'm better because of her God brought her to me that day he planned she'd find her way to me I never gave up on her when others tossed in the towel Because of that experience I'll remember her till the day I die I hope and pray I get to see her in heaven so that I can thank her for having shown me the way
