Life Support Is Love Apparatus
She came to me DOA
A victim of a devastating wreck
Her angelic face was pale in color
and her eyes were a beautiful blue
I applied every ounce of energy within me to resuscitate her
shouting at times come on don't you quit on me
I was such a little fish in a big pond and still green behind the gills
Everyone I trusted to assist me committed mutiny
To much effort to save a life or to involved with their own agendas
I was granted a miracle that day
a true blessing
she started coming around
I was never happier never so relieved but
still unsure of what would come next
I stood there beside her trembling with fear
my mind was mush and I was exhausted
She was scared and in pain
I told her don't be afraid I'm here to help
She trusted me and reached out for my hand
I held her for as long as I could
only turning away for something to comfort her with
but before I got the chance to place it on her
she was gone
I cried tears that I never would have believed existed
I can't forget her face or those eyes in such need of me
In all of my years she was the first and only one
She is gone now but she'll live on forever
It’s like she became a part of me
Keeping me strong in my faith
and I'm better because of her
God brought her to me that day
he planned she'd find her way to me
I never gave up on her when others tossed in the towel
Because of that experience I'll remember her till the day I die
I hope and pray I get to see her in heaven so that I can thank her
for having shown me the way
