Poem Title:
Poem
24 hours to live…I need to hurry and come up with a plan It’s only right to “worry” because I haven’t been half the man 23 hours to live…An hour gone by, I wanna break down and cry; Because I know with twenty-three hours to go, and I will die! 22 hours to live…I sat down to make amends with my Mother While I was there, although he didn’t care, I asked forgiveness from my brother. I forgave my Mother and she forgave me; 18 hours to live…I called my uncle and aunts to tell them I hate what we have gone through. 16 hours to live…I visited my sister and we reminisced about growing up together The fights, the fun; the tears and laughter will be cherished forever! 18 hours to live…I visited my Momma’s grave, and told her I’d be seeing her soon. I then placed a white rose I chose, on her headstone and cried that afternoon 13 hours to live…I called up each one of my baby girls and asked them to come see me I told them they were my world and asked them to accept my apology I spent five hours with my daughters ‘because I had so much to say I told them about life and the birds and the bees; about the importance of an Education, sacrifice and family. I kissed and held Jasmine, Brianna and Lillian, then told them they had to go; I reminded them to always pray, ‘cause there will come a day, when I’ll see Them again, beyond the rainbow! 8 hours to live…My Peanut Butter came over and we made passionate love like never Before. I told her she was my best friend and her love I’ll always adore. We held one another, kissed, touched, laughed as the hours ticked by. I got out of bed, kissed her forehead and for once I was the one to cry! She then left the house knowing I needed to be alone I couldn’t help but notice the time and my racing heart beneath my breastbone! 3 hours to live…Alone in my room, I fell to my knees I prayed to my God to heal me my spiritual disease I asked for forgiveness for all the sins I’ve ever done I even asked God if he would make it his business to accept me as his son I prayed, I talked to Him well into the final hour 0 hours to live…No more pain. I felt my life force drain And then awoke in Heaven surrounded by white flowers!!! Note: Entry for Waylayee Whitlock's "If I had One Last Day To Live" Contest
