Oh dear God, i saw the doctor today <br />And i don't know what to do <br />And i don't know what to say <br /> <br />But he told me i didn't have long <br />To live the rest of my life <br />But i have to try and be strong <br />Tell my husband he'll soon be without <br />a wife <br /> <br />I never thought this would be <br />The thing that would change my life <br />And the news came so suddenly <br />I don't even have time to fight <br /> <br />Oh how i will miss my kids <br />and won't see my grandchildren grow <br />up <br />What do you do in a time like this <br />When your life has been taken from <br />you so abrupt <br /> <br />Should i just end it soon <br />Or wait, only to suffer <br />For my life is already ruined <br />And everyday only leads to the next <br />being tougher <br /> <br />So God i want to pray <br />But i'm afraid i don't know how <br />It's like everything i want to say <br />Has to be perfectly said right now <br /> <br />I just ask you to help me prepare <br />Prepare myself for what i'm about to <br />face <br />A life cut short <br />With no future instore <br />And death is a scary thing to await!<br /><br />Katherine Perry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-so-suddenly/
