Today the World Seemed To Stop Revolving

A peaceful day, people smiling, children frolicking. Sun was shining, birds were singing, I remember, I was out walking. Then my phone started ringing. Today the world seemed to stop revolving. A friend was calling A long pause was what I was hearing My mind starts racing, as a shakey voice starts speaking. Suddenly and without warning, bad news is unfolding Today the world seemed to stop revolving I couldn't quite believe what I was hearing A friends life might be failing Now I feel the tears a welling As an awful feeling starts emerging Some one I love who's life is balancing. Today the world seemed to stop revolving I rush to be by my friends side wishing, hoping for a miracle to be happening. See him lying not a muscle moving Wires trailing, pipes helping with his breathing. Feeling helpless, what could I be doing Today the world seemed to stop revolving I whisper to him, now's not the time for you to be leaving. There's too much love to still be giving and receiving. I sit with my friend and keep believing. He'll soon come back, I have a strong feeling. Today the world seemed to stop revolving Wanting to believe this isn't happening Hanging on to all my reasoning, Talking to friends and reminiscing Doctors speaking, we're intently listening. Just wanting a sign that he's improving. Today the world seemed to stop revolving Then the day came, he starts moving We watch him carefully as his eyes start flickering. The machines are off and now he's breathing. What a wonderful spectacle we are seeing Today the world seemed to stop revolving Now you're home and we can see you're healing A new chance at life, a new begining Now you're back with us it's time for loving and living. Today the world once again seemed to start revolving. Date 2018
