Last Words Exchanged

In his dying moments, as my heart was dying too, I said to him simply, "I Love You" And he said "I Love You Too..." Then I said one last thing, And I pray that it was right, I said, "It's okay to go... go to that shining light..." He died at that moment, a skeptic he'd always been, And said that death was the final end... At that time, I said to his spirit, "Now you know how wrong you were, dear father, my love I'll always tend." That was when the lights and fan shut down, And I knew for sure, He wanted to acknowlege, that his soul, it did endure.
