I Saw Him Too Poem by Letter From My Mother's Womb

I saw him too

I was laying helpless,
I wondered restless,
For a moment I felt selfless,
My dear, in weakness all becomes a mess!

I could see people,
There were too many visitors,
I could spot my church members,
And a few, chambers!

I'd been feeling worthless,
I was feeling drained,
I was pained,
I felt painted with pain!

I heard the choir,
They'd been singing my favourite song,
Hosanna, hosanna I thought!
Heard my ringtone, ding!

Thought to pick it,
But I had no strength,
I doze off!
Hours later, I woke up.

I was having attacks,
I couldn't bare the pain,
I lay down, carefully, in pain!
I saw him....

I saw him too,
Your dad.
Despite the crowd,
Blood rose aloud.

He was sitting next to my bed,
I was too focused on my left,
I couldn't spot him on the right,
When he was just, by my side in sight!

He was in tears,
He looked pale,
Said our story is a fairytale,
I saw him too.
