The Day I Died

I had a day like any other
Shower, shop and clean
I wasn't in a hurry for anything

I look at the time
It is time for bed
I go upstairs and lay down my head

I all of a sudden have a fright
My phone rings and wonder why
Why is she calling so late this night

I hear the words a mother dreads
Your son has been in a car accident
He has been hurt severely on the head

I scramble and I scurry
I can not think at all
Hurry up airlines answer my call

I'm making the calls
Trying to find out anything at all
Airlines, hospitals and his other mom

I'm waiting, I'm praying an hour goes by
When at 11:30 my dad stops by
The look of dread and tears in his eyes

Iva my daughter I have something to say
Your son did not make it
He has passed away

I hear my father and what he says
I'm shocked and horrified
I feel dead

I go to see you my son
For the last time
I look in the casket and start to cry

I see around me so many people
Your family and friends
All who have come to say goodbye

I sit here and cry and I wonder why
Why did God take you
Take you to that place in the sky

I think of your eyes and your smile
The joy you brought
Across the miles

It has been two weeks since that day
That day I was told
My son has passed away

It has been said this pain will pass
That I have my memories
They will last

I hope and I pray
That I can make it
Through all my days

I ask you my son
My son in the sky
Save me that place for when I die

R.I.P. my sweet Sean
