The Day That Almost Was

It was a cold and rainy day, The pain just would not go away. Felt like maybe this was the end, It hurt so bad I could not bend. Then the thought came to my head, Maybe a short time from now I’ll be dead. Trying to clear that thought from my mind, But maybe in death this pain I would not find. What would this thing call death hold for me, I was curious but not the least bit anxious to see. I took some pills to ease the pain, As I sat down by my window to watch the rain. I fell asleep and had a dream, I saw a light a real bright beam. It pulled me toward it in a race, And at the end I saw what I believed to be Jesus’ face. And then the light it faded away, I guess he wasn’t ready for me this day. When I awoke the pain was gone, But I still see Jesus on His throne. These are just thoughts that came to me, I am in no pain. You guys are the best,Ron
