Midnight Pain

The attack came at midnight racking me with pain! So bad, I thought I would go insane. I took some medicine for it... Relief came a little, I sighed, a bit. Wondering if these were my final moments.. What is death like ~does He come dressed in black or white? Above all is my conscience right? Shall I be going be to hell or to heaven? I don't want to go, I want my fresh breakfast in sunlight at seven! But..God, I won't see my daughter or grandson anymore, These two beings, full The attack came at midnight racking me with pain!

We can cry and moon over the dead with such passion! But what about the living, no, we show no compassion? Billions have died since the world began, for them do we weep. But to the living? We ignore them like unwanted sheep! Withholding love and destroying others? Then wonder..why we cannot sleep under expensive, soft covers!of life, once I am behind Death's door!

A scary moment, worse when it happens in the dead of night. But you're here to live another day, thankfully it passed. Tom

Wonderfully sincere yearnings. I pray God grants you your request yet to live, reasonably pain free, so as to be able to enjoy and further cherish your loved ones...and also grant your wish for the blessing of others. Lovely, moving read!

Victor..Most do not want to think of it all all? They hide from it. We are both older, but death visits the young, sad to day. I think we are blessed to have been here this long. Bless you))) Love, Panagiota
