I Shoulda Seen It Coming

I shoulda seen it coming, but blind I had to be. Otherwise, how did I end up here looking down. I’m looking down at ME and everybody in my life so dear. I shoulda seen it coming. I shoulda heard it too. How the heck did I wind up like this? There must have been the sound of choo choo choo. And vibrations – however could I miss? I shoulda seen it coming while on that track I stood, ear buds in while I was listening to loud music, feeling oh so good. Now it feels like on my face tears are glistening. Wow! I still can cry because my soul has a face and eyes to see from where I’m looking down at my closed coffin. Wish I could console my sobbing loved ones (glad to see they care!) Wish that they could see me now up here though my body down on earth got hit so hard! But I’m brand new in this new sphere! If I could, I’d tell them also – Grandpa hasn’t even changed a bit!
