As My Life Flashes Before My Eyes

As my life flashes before my eyes, slowly going into darkness before I die; everyone around me is praying and crying. My sweetheart takes my hand in his; back, he and I walked alone in that Autumn Day, to the sound of bird's melodious tone. My heart raised to the sky as he nestled his hands around my face and kissed me gently. Back, while he stood by my side, as I labored with our first child. Eyed the pureness of the little red face as he cried. Back, to the tender moments as we sat around the Christmas tree exchanging gifts to the sounds of laughter of our grandchildren.
My empty vessel lays there as I hovers high hand in hand with my sweetheart.

Well-penned, Eve... I was just watching a movie where a schoolgirl almost jumped off of a skyscraper in Manhattan... Talk about a Life flashing before one's eyes... Heavy thoughts. :) gw
