Who Will Come For Me?

Who Will Come For Me? I watch him nod his head in agreement With two fingers up So much energy today So much love in his eyes He scratched his head in confusion What did I forget to do? Ah yes, it is food, I forgot to eat He swallowed as he did so many times before There is someone in the corner for whom he speaks The conversation is real But who is it that he sees He buzzes around like it was his last Who would have thought the one in the corner Was the angel that would come for his soul To tell him, only two weeks more My sister and I he pointed to with mere words I will save you a place up there I will welcome you with arms wide open He kissed mom and held her chin in his hand Come dance with me his body motioned He lay upon his bed one last time Never to rise again.
