Another Go

I’ve been quite busy; I’ve baby sat all day My dear grandkids came over for a play. Went to the Tangled maze, got lost, but had fun Played Minigolf, then, ice-skated on the run. Back home, to draw and paint, did some board games too They never stopped, smiled all day, so much to do. When the kids come around my heart fills with joy, I give then lots of love, buy them each a toy. Then back home they went, I kissed them all goodbye Come again, make it soon, ‘Yes’ was their reply. The mess I cleaned up, a smile upon my face I love to have them, their love I can’t replace. That night I lay down, to rest my weary head Didn’t think time was up, but I woke up dead. Dead! How can it be, I wonder what went wrong? Saw their tears, I called out “Hey I won’t be long. I’m not dead, it’s a dream, this nightmare must stop Please, I’m begging you, don’t give to me the chop. All gathered around, my lifeless body still Hey, I’m still here because, deaths not in my will. When I saw them weep, my heart it gave a thump My little girls saved me, my heart gave a pump I worked hard to return, as I took a breath A ‘miracle’ they called, when I cheated death. Nan, your back with us we knew you would not leave What is this fuss I said, you’re too young to grieve. That’s how my day turned out, just a tangled maze Wake up dead, not for me, it’s now all a haze
