See You

You were so tired You couldn’t wait to go lay down Mom was standing in the kitchen I was outside locking things up As you went through the back door You hollered, See you soon Moments later the air began to fill with Dread Getting thicker with each second of Mom's screams By the time I got to your side You laid unmoving, straight as board in your bed I could hardly bear seeing you that way As your Grandson dialed 911 My vision blurred and the world disappeared All I could see and hear were you Twenty three Chest compression's, Six breaths later You opened your eyes and looked into mine I could hardly bear seeing you so helpless As I held you in my arms Mom and others began to Pray I felt each word spoken go through me to you Flowing through your nephew's Hand that laid upon my shoulder I couldn’t help but to hold my breath And wrap myself around you even tighter than before I could hardly bear seeing you struggle No one had to tell us how bad you were To life-flight you to St. Jose’s was the only chance you had I tried to climbed in with you, but they wouldn’t let me I knew how terrified of heights you were As they closed those doors I hollered... See you there See you there Daddy, I’ll see you there There were lines and tubes and doctors everywhere I stayed up for day’s right beside you in a chair Mom sat across from me and held your hand The others circled around us in your room We could hardly bear seeing you that way Daddy Alyssa sang "Jesus Loves Me" for you in your little Church There must have been over a mile of cars parked Family and Friends coming to say Goodbye You'd think after almost 3 years it wouldn't make me cry It’s almost like you must’ve known The night you spoke those words to me That you’d be heading up to Heaven soon Not to take a nap When you closed that door and hollered... See you soon We'll meet again at those Pearly Gates, Daddy You have our word.. We'll see you there.. We'll see you there
