Flashing Lights

Walking down a road one night I saw a car coming and before i could move it hit me but before it did i had racing thoughts go in my head and memories I had with my friends those flashing lights made me remember We were swinging by the lake watching the sun come up eating some icecream cake then we were on a picnic cloth, holding hands, listening to old men talk then falling in love thats what flashed back in to my eyes when i saw those flashing lights 3 years from that day i think back to what could have happened but im glad im okay and that i am here still today i have changed for the better and not let life pass me by everday is another one and i will make the best of it I will try not to cry so much you never know tomorrow you could see those flashing lights When you see those lights you remeber all the good times in your life like holding hands on the beach, eating some wild icecream going to london and relaxing in rome and calling greece your wonderful home then seeing your kids grow old those flashing lights remind you of your life and your shaky roads Now im old and gray and i know my time is coming as i lay there in my bed and i hear the angels humming i look up into the sky and know its going to be alright and feel my last breath coming and i see those flashing lights I remember holding my baby girl and kissing my husband on my wedding day i remember the way my daddy looked at me when he found out i was moving away or when my mom used to call me every single day but now i know its my time to go and everythings okay those flahing lights are now fading away
