They could not bring my body back, They tried so diligently and then and that, I soared about myself to know and see, That I was gone now, gone so physically. In all the struggles, the doctors, to save my life, In all the crazy moments, my daughter and my wife, Knew I was gone, dead so they say in science clinically, But they could not know I'm here and now I still see. A minute, maybe more minutes on a cosmic clock, Began to tick so loudly, how could I make it stop? Then tears from those who waited in the room nearby, And how they would begin to be disillusioned and cry. With that all gone, so instantaneously I began to be, Inside a world, so lovely, and so beauteous to see, Where peace so sweet surrounded my soaring soul, With peoples of all nations, both young and old. I knew now, God loved all, regardless of their beliefs, I felt the love, engulfed the peace, in my new relief, Began to hug those both near me and so very far, I made the journey to Heaven, where we now are. But such sweet joy and contentment was not to be, I heard an angel tell me so kindly and gingerly, That I must return to continue my Earthly life, To share the word and love my daughter and wife.

Near Death
They could not bring my body back, They tried so diligently and then and that, I soared about myself to know and see, That I was gone now, gone so physically. In all the struggles, the doctors, to save my life, In all the crazy moments, my daughter and my wife, Knew I was gone, dead so they say in science clinically, But they could not know I'm here and now I still see. A minute, maybe more minutes on a cosmic clock, Began to tick so loudly, how could I make it stop? Then tears from those who waited in the room nearby, And how they would begin to be disillusioned and cry. With that all gone, so instantaneously I began to be, Inside a world, so lovely, and so beauteous to see, Where peace so sweet surrounded my soaring soul, With peoples of all nations, both young and old. I knew now, God loved all, regardless of their beliefs, I felt the love, engulfed the peace, in my new relief, Began to hug those both near me and so very far, I made the journey to Heaven, where we now are. But such sweet joy and contentment was not to be, I heard an angel tell me so kindly and gingerly, That I must return to continue my Earthly life, To share the word and love my daughter and wife.
