Life and Death

by Troy Hagen

You wake up, what a great day
“It’s a boy” You’re here
Remember when you were young
No cares no worries?

You get your favorite pen, and paper,
sit down at the desk and start writing

You grow stronger and smarter each day
“I hereby leave…..”you write.
Your first steps – your last breathe
Your first words – your Last Will & Testament
Your first birthday – your funeral

You look up to the heavens, You
see your new mom, you can’t move,

“Hear my cry?”
Lower one foot in comfort,
six feet under…

“Good night my new born angel”,
“Come to me.” she says
Soft, calm music fills your mind
and puts you at rest
Slowly falling
Drifting up
You are asleep
You are gone
