Your Time Will Come

Fifteen year
s old
Depressed, alone
Want to end the pain
don't want to go on
Bottle of pills spilled at my feet
thinking they don't understand me
Fell to my knees and
bowed my head
crying "Please take me instead"
A loving voice ringing in my head
"It's just not your time yet"
If it's not your time, then it's not your time
it's something you learn to accept
Time heals the wounds, but not the pain
It's hard to go on, but you do ok
One winter night
was on my way home
Snow and ice on the ground
squealing tires and shattered glass
The other driver was just a kid
Held him in my arms, prayed he
would be alright, there's no way
he deserved this
Fell to my knees and
bowed my head
crying "Please take me instead"
A loving voice ringing in my head
"It's just not your time yet"
If it's not your time, then it's not your time
it's something you learn to accept
Time heals the wounds, but not the pain
It's hard to go on, but you do ok
Nine long months
waited for this day
Don't care what it is, just be ok
Baby boy, blue tinged lips
My heart fills with fear
close my eyes and I pray
"Please don't take him from me yet"
Fell to my knees and
bowed my head
crying "Please take me instead"
A loving voice ringing in my head
"It's just not your time yet"
If it's not your time, then it's not your time
it's something you learn to accept
Time heals the wounds, but not the pain
It's hard to go on , but you do ok
Ninety-two, a long life lived
now confined to a hospital bed
Family and friends, time to say goodbye
wipe the teardrops from your eyes
One last smile, one last breath
Close my eyes and bow my head, praying
"Lord take my instead"
a loving voice ringing in my head
"Patient now, it's almost time.
Take my hand and I'll lead you there"
If it's your time, then it's your time
it's something you learn to accept
Time will heal their wounds, but not their pain
It's hard to go on, but they'll do ok
When it's your time, you will know
because God will take you home

Top-level comments on this article: (1 total)That is a incredible poem,I got chills, but you do have some words spelt wrong. But you are a talented pesonThank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.As for having words spelled wrong, with all due respect, the only words that could even be viewed as being wrong would be the use of "ok".However, it is perfectly acceptable to spell okay as ok.Once again, thanks for reading.I was not trying to get something started, but I read it and there were a couple words spelled wrong, it's nothing they are small words.I was in no way attempting to start anything. I would honestly appreciate it if you would please point out what words are incorrectly spelled. I truly do not see where I have incorrectly spelled anything. Perhaps I am overlooking something. You know how it is, you write something and go over it so many times that it all blends together. By all means, please point them out because I really can be something of a spelling snob myself. If I truly have misspelled something, I would like to correct it. :-)
