You Never Know Your Last Day

I almost died last night

My Heart almost gave out

There were no flashes no guiding lights

No prayers said out loud or under quiet breath

I just laid there hooked to the machines

the buzzer above my head reading all wrong

A pleasant sound almost like song

The nurses walking in and out

as my headphones died in my ears

In and out of consciousness

while the doctors are doing

their best to be conscientious

they came up with Bradycardia

I went to sleep with blood pressure

219 over 190 with a heart rate of 108

woke up 72 over 58 with an HR of 40

Never knowing when the end is near

Never knowing when to say goodbye

when to have that last playful laugh

that final kiss, that loving hug

All I know is I was right with God when I went

Was in God's hands all night

and came home by the grace of God
