It was as if the sun gave way to the night sky, midday. Blinded, bounded by the chains of momentary loss. Little voices faintly heard, whimpering thy name. Then suddenly, a scream heard from afar, echoed within my heart. Breaking me into pieces, I know of whom cried out for me. At that moment, I was engulfed with light, a hallway leading me to her, there she was, my wife. Crying hysterically, surrounded by nurses. I rushed to her, embracing her so. Telling her that I was still with her and will never let her go. I glanced up, and saw our two little ones, in a small window. They were in the waiting room; I could hear them asking for me. Slowly accepting my fate yet confused as to how I got here. My baby, my babies are going to have to go without me physically. I'll forever and always be with them spiritually. I held on to my wife, I still do. My kids, see me, they just don’t understand it yet. I always tuck them in at night and we all still say our prayers together. My wife, she’s suffering in silence…

Pieces into me breaking.

Voices faintly heard_ whimpering thy name

Then suddenly, a scream _ blinded, bounded

The sun gave way to the night sky

My fate yet confused

My wife, my kids

Heard from afar_ echoed within my heart

My kids see me _ I always tuck them in

My wife_ suffering in silence

I rushed to her_ embracing her so

Never will I ever let go_
