THE DAY I DIED

My eyes opened as I rise from sleep of death
Resting on my couch from stress of MS
Much pain from earlier in the day
Peace and wonderment was all I felt

Staring at space above me, I wondered in my mind
How my eyes suddenly opened
How manner in which my lashes stood up
From a sleep that proved to be precious

Suddenly, my heart embedded in my chest
Fluttered as a feather's touch on a calm day
My heart silently beat on, my breath of life returned to me
As God smiled at me once more

Feeling renewed I studied my accounting homework
My thoughts came back to me with clarity, and 
I finished chapter four in excitement short-lived
I missed deadline to submit as it was returned unaccepted 

I knew from then on, I was resurrected 
By The Almighty above, but why?
I did not understand then, but was told by one 
I'm here for my   kids who still need my loving care 

My family at Neopoet is my closest friends
There is not one I would not have missed
As my flesh fell to corruption, and 
God's spirit, the breathe of my life, returned to him

Tired, still feeling pangs of a painful life
I carry on never giving up on this unrealistic world 
Moving forward accomplishing my goals to  aid others spiritually,  
Graduate college, and help develop Neopoet as best workshop on the net
