Please Doc Lie To Me! Poem by Rusty Ed Gibson

Sitting in this hospital
Like I got no where else to be
Waiting for the doctor
To lay it out for me
Will I live is not the question
But when am I gonna die
This is the one time I remember
I want to hear a woman lie.

Please whisper sweet nothings
Instead of the truth
Let me focus on your smile
Instead of what you have to do
Forgive me for my rambling
And for laying this all on you

I don't want to live forever
But I don't want to go today
Tell my grandson I waited for him
And that I was very brave
this is where I made my stand
I fought until the end
I went to see Jesus
Rest assured bragging about him

She propped me up in the bed
And helped me with my shoes
She told me I could go
And to stop eating spicy foods
