Greeting Heaven...

I see the clock... slowly... tick, tick, ticking away.
A minute goes by and then another... and I can't stop it.
If I could... maybe I could've stopped my fate.

My conscience slides from my vision...
Slowly taking me to the last moment I saw her...
And I cry out for the last time 'Margie...'

I feel my pulsing heart slowly decrease it's speed...
I know they will mourn and yearn for me to come forth again...
'You cannot wait any longer' my thoughts tell me...

Soon I see the beautifully, breath taking angel appear.
And through my chapped, chocky lips I smile and reach out to her...
'It it time to come with me, my love..' She says and I look toward the door to my room...

'They will miss you and I know they will mourn for us.. though they do not need us any longer..'
Finally I grasp her hand and she takes my gaze away from the door..
'let us be on our way' she says and smiles..

I slowly drifted out of my body and in the background I hear that heart monitor.
'beep..beep.. beeeeep' I hear as it finally stops.
I hear a thump and heart-breakingly so.. I see my son fall to his knees with tear-stained cheeks..

'I'll see you soon kid.." I mouth and look back to Margie as huge glowing stairs appear..
Finally we walk up the long, glowing stairway as everything that was around us slowly disappears...

It's about my Great Granddaddy and he died last June...
