Almost......

Without warning , without a sound ,
i almost lost you........
Your cry was so silent,
the world stopped,
as did my heart ,
when i saw you lying there,
pleading with God to Forgive me all my sins,
Begging him to take me not you,
One more chance, please lord , just once more........

The Doctors worked fast, 
Methodical, i stood back,
do your magic, let it work,
let him live, paraplegic , brain damage
i dont care, just let him be alive

a day,  then two,  three, and
now four, i am here, so are you,
no bruises, no breaks , nothing........

The world has known me 38 years ,
you are a stranger of 18 months,
you are my world,  the legacy of
my life , i belong to you

God i have called in my greatest time of
need, and he has answered,

My Grandson ,
you fell so far ,
the earth is unforgiving , unmoving,
and yet it has encompassed you in
love, protected you with feathers
from the wings of an angel and
kept you safe

No marks adorn your beautiful
body to remind us of the day 
when all of life seemed nothing
you almost went away

No grief has entered our doorway
and stolen all the light,
For God has given you blessings,
and given your body flight,

no reason known can explain,
why i look at you today,
and watch you play with your toys,
as if no harm has come your way

i sleep beside your  bed each night
as a miracle i see each day
every morning when i look in your eyes
when tomorrow becomes yesterday

i don't know if i will ever be
the same as  i was before,
i don't know if i will ever be
able to let you out of my sight

right now i am locked in time with you
i cannot see past you at all
my heart, my mind will not leave your side
in fear of you being no more

I know the lord has blessed us all
and saved us from great pain
but i am vigilant ever watching
so death trys not to visit us again

i will give all that i am
and more if its demanded
for i no longer own my life
it is you who does command it

and in a blink without a doubt
i'd gladly give it all
for you my grandson and my children
are why i am here at all

If a life well led is one with purpose
then the gift is mine to share 
for i am the flute of the muse
but you are the music in the air ..


i love you all......
