Lying In Silence Poem by Melvina Germain

I know I'm lying in a hospital room,
the Doctor's will come in soon.
Don't they know that I'm aware
of what is going on in here.

I lie in silence, I can not speak,
but my ears can hear every little creek.
The crying and sobbing, the sweet and I love you,
I hear it all coming through.

I know my time is coming soon,
My wife is singing spiritual tunes.
The Angel of death will soon appear,
the scent of sweet violets permeate the air.

Hearing love in the silence,
hidden behind an invisible fence.
Reaching out in my mind,

with no communication of any kind.

I love you all, thank God I told you before.
God is coming soon, to open the final door.
I have no regrets, I've made my peace.
My love for you all will never cease.
