As he lays on his bed of death He prays the Reaper come The pain that eats his flesh Is not enough to make him numb His breath comes in short gasps He is dying too slowly But alas it gives him time To dwell on memories He is taken back to that July day On the shores of that blue lake When from his highschool sweetheart His first kiss he did take He recalls that fine spring day As at the alter he did stand His bride walking down the aisle Making him a happy man Maternity ward at 3 a.m. His love moaning in pain As to this weary world His little daughter came Three years later, back again In the light of room 301 He looked at his lovely wife Holding their first son Remembering the elation Of hearing his children call him 'DAD' There's nothing he would have traded For the life he had His son's first car, daughter's first dance How quickly time does fly Until they both found someone to love And he had to bid his babies goodbye Looking in his grandchildren's eyes Knowing how they worshipped him Pride welling up within his heart Just being able to love them Summer nights out on the porch Holding his sweetheart tight Though years and years had gone by Their love still burning bright And now at the eve of his life As on this bed he lays He looks up at the flourescebt lights And thanks God for each day And as he closes his eyes He softly smiles in death I wonder will we be able to say That we have no regrets? -Cobalt Murphy < !signature--> "Just as I've lived, almost unknown, A life unmarked, obscure and alone, So let me die;" -James Edward Wilson [This message has been edited by Traveller (edited 09-19-2000).] |

Welcome to Passions!! WOW! This is a wonderful piece. It's a great person who can look back upon their lives and have no regrets. It's great to have talent like yours here. Keep up the great work! False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the diffrence. |

*Jaw drops* Whoa…um…yeah…that…was pretty good. Pretty damn good. In fact, I’d even say it was great! Yes, great it was… This is the part of my response where I’d insert some obscure moral message that no one but me understands…but since you’re new, I’ll spare you…hehe. Welcome to Passions…insert twenty-five cents…enjoy your stay… In-wishing-there-were-more-pointless-obsure-moral-messages-in-the-world THERE IS NO SPOON!

Wow. Well, good first post. I must say that I am surprised at the way this turned out actually, it made me kind of sad. It's so true... will we regret? Keep writing. Jenn "He's mastered the art, of looking sincere, his eyes have a way, of making you stay, don't look in the mirror"- Chely Wright |
