Holding on
To the last breath within her
Wanting second chance to life
But it is just not enough
To keep her heart beating

Forcing eyes to stay open
While slowly closing in
Trying to move herself side to side
While slowly shutting down
Getting tired of holding on

Angels at the bed side
Singing "well done, well done"
Time to say goodbye
Tears dropping one last time
As the father called his daughter home
It is not fair but His will
We all want to live forever, unfortunately it is not our will. Inspired by The Best Man Holiday.
