Close Call Poem by Kristin Nicole RothDavis

Close Call

Rating: 5.0


I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me
Not perfect, heroic, or full of glory
I just want to be able to share my story.

Talkin' bout redemption, leavin' it all behind
Wonderin' when I'm gone will my heart's
Intent be something you find.

Page for page, dreams washed away
Orchestrated paradise couldn't make me stay

Never fails when we're ill
We contemplate, in this hand we've been dealt,
Are we holdin' the broken seal
Is our name on the infamous scroll
Was that the wind or His hand we just felt.

As a tear falls for heaven's sake
You sense the fear from within
Gently kiss my forehead and grab my hand
Scared outta your mind
Wonderin' just how much more I can take.

Squeezin' my hand, afrain it may break
Just when you thought you lost me
I gently squeeze back and then you see
Just how truly happy you've made me.

There's hope afterall,
You suddenly feel faint
Who's gonna catch you if you fall
You step out into the hall
Cath your breath and go for help

An hour later, eyes open
Yes baby, it's true ~ just as you were hopin'
I touched your face
With every beat my heart stays at a steady pace
I trace the outline of your lips
As you gently kiss my finger tips.

The nurse comes in ~ 'You both look as white as a sheet! ' She said
'Keep this up girl and you'll soon be outta that bed! '
