My Life...I Was At the Top.

Floating in the air I fill nothing nor am I scared, the thoughts that run across my mind,did I see or was I blind, from childhood to yesterday, I did it with dignity I did it my way, I was true to myself,I lived loved and never turned away to help, I loved to watch my kids smile,loved when I held my wife a while, as a smile crosses my face,...that was life that I embraced, now as I paved my road and fixed my heart, will it be easy now you know this part? I never seen it coming I was struck from behind,around 3:36 am are so was the time, a peaceful day are that is what I thought, I just heard a loud noise then it stopped, dose my wife know she was my one and only,that my love for her wasn't phony, did I teach my kids to know, life was their's and that this is now their show, will they be all right with out me here, do they all know did I make it clear, not the fear change take a chance, live love hold your head high and dance, we are who we want to be, and all the time we shared passes through me, THUD! I've fallen hitting the ground, I can not here not one sound, my eyes stay open as it's the street I see, warm blood pours and surrounds me, I never seen this coming, my life would end on this early morning, as the dust settled and lights appear, they try to talk to me asking "can you hear," I tried to speak but it was as if I couldn't, I tried to move but my body wouldn't, as I felt nothing and a chill filled the air, to leave now, my kids my wife it's not fair, then with out warning it all stopped.....,
