Heather Savage Poem
Sunshine After the Rain
Her heart is beating faintly, the tubes are down her throat,
The words are playing in his mind, of the last time they spoke.
He holds her hands, he’s praying for this dream to end.
Please do not take her from me, Please take my life instead.
Her life is too important, she has three kids at home,
How could I explain to them that Mommy wont come home.
Just the thought of losing her, makes him scream with tears.
Cause life without her by his side, is his worst of fears.
She had so many dreams in life, and she’s still very young.
This cannot be the end for her, it’s too soon for this to come.
For all his pain came rushing in, within this little time.
Then as he leans in for a kiss, he notices her smile.
His pain then quickly fades away, there no more tears, no strife.
She never knew the hurt she’d cause when she tried to end her life.
The tears start flowing from her eyes, as she hangs her head in shame.
For the thoughtless thing she chose to do, she’s the only one to blame.
She tries to remember all the things that brought her down this path,
Then all the memories come flooding in, but no one knows the half.
All theses things she bottled up, were killing her inside.
And all the hurt and pain she had, a smile she hid behind.
She was always told that God wont give you more than you could bear.
But everything kept piling up, and she couldn’t feel him there.
The moment when she took those pills, it was the only end in sight.
But now she sits here writing this, in hopes to save a life.
She had to hit rock bottom, before she finally realized,
That everything she ever needed, were in her children's eyes.
Please do not take your life for granted, please hold it very tight.
Cause no matter how dark your tunnel seems, at the end there is light.
For I got a second chance to tell my story, but you may not get the same.
So keep on fighting to the end, because there is sunshine after the rain.

Heather Savage Poem
The sun was shining brightly,
The sky was oh so clear,
When in the distance I could hear the sirens drawing near.
I didn't think twice about it,
Just headed back inside,
Then as they pulled into your yard,
The worst thing came to mind.
I dropped what I was doing,
And quickly ran your way,
When at your doorstep looking in,
Your lifeless body lay.
My heart sank deep inside my chest
When the paramedic call out clear,
Your birthday was just two days ago,
I was just over here.
I saw your body convulse
As they put the paddles on your chest.
One, Two, Three they count
Then their voices come to rest.
They put you on the gourney
Said they've done all they could do,
Then when they brought you to the door,
I knew this must be true.
I was standing there in shock,
Tears flowing from my eyes,
Then as I looked upon at your face,
It took me by surprise.
Your head was very swollen
Your skin a shade of blue,
This wasn't the way you always look,
I stared at you confused.
I followed you to the hospital,
In hopes to hear good news,
It seemed like a million years had passed,
While in that waiting room.
The doctor finally entered
With a stern look in his eyes,
He said you had already passed,
Before the ambulance arrived.
Ever since the day you died,
I swear a part of me died too,
For I regret it everyday,
Not spending more time with you.
So heres my poem I wrote to you,
My uncle, my best friend,
Please know I'll keep you in my heart,
Until my life too will end.
