Eternal Happiness

Here I am, in this bed again.

I don't think I am leaving

this time.

Do I regret anything?

No chance. Every single

choice I made, every single

consequence I endured made

me who I am today.

I can leave this world with a

smile.

 

My family is by my side. Not

only my wife, but my children

and my guardian angel. He is

alone.

In the corner, it is watching.

The thing a normal man

would fear.

But not me. I stare that

demon in the eyes and

laugh. It is scared

because it failed its master.

 

I am slowly letting

go.

My adventure is over.

I did what I was supposed to

do, and now, I can now rest my

eyes, forever.

Goodbye beautiful world,

you have done me well. More angles

are showing up. My time is up.

I start to reminisce about my life.

Yup. No regrets.

 

Tears of joy start rushing

down my face. My

smile becomes infectious

for everyone in the room,

even the angels, start smiling.

Well, it's time to let go.

I love you all very much.

With the angels calling my name,

my eyes slowly close.

 

I see a light.

That light, that familiar light.

No that can't be.

Mom? Dad?

Welcome home son.
