Sometimes it takes a tragedy <br />to help us see things clear, <br />and then we get a glimpse of life <br />without our loved ones here. <br /> <br />The busy days of real-life <br />go by with such a flash <br />and then you're in the hospital... <br />the whole world seems to crash. <br /> <br />We've dodged another bullet. <br />We're given one more day. <br />Let's make a promise to ourselves <br />to not forget to say... <br /> <br />Your breath comes forth just for me, <br />your lungs still rise and fall. <br />I'll always be beside you <br />with just a simple call. <br /> <br />The heat from you while sleeping <br />can take away my chills. <br />The way you keep me laughing <br />and showing me new thrills. <br /> <br />I know our days are numbered. <br />It has to end one day. <br />Please let it be many years from now <br />when one of us goes away.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sometimes-it-takes-a-tragedy/
