Death



A cold of sweeping

A last lonely hand

A shiver of the heart

Temptation to a stand



We have to pump air in

We have to pump it out

His pain was too unbearable

The shoot it made him shout



A call for the man in blue

He’s only just alive

The nurse came in and told us

Through the night he won’t survive



Endless did the night seem

Our crying never end

The angels came and got him

To heaven did the send

This is similar to Overcome The Pain, but written at different times.

Very moving this, I assume it comes from a personal experience? if not, you have captured the emotions beautifully.
