COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD


Sounds of a heart beat! Thump! Thump!, Thump,Thump!, Thump! Thump!, Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! ----------------------------------------------- FLATLINE! The heartbeat is gone Thumps you hear no more No more, no more, battling the war As people surround me they reach out and they cry Wondering if I’m going to live on, or will I choose to die As I rise above this lifeless vessel, I look down and I see Wondering if that body is mine and if that’s really me I say to myself, if I only had the chance to do it all over again Things would be different but where would I begin I first would get rid of all of the elements that has killed my body and soul I would let God take over and give him the control Removal of the family of demons, Yea,that would be first Before they put me in a casket and drive me off in a Hearst I’d get rid of the 4 sisters CONFUSION, DELUSION, ABUSING and PAIN Embrace understanding, reality, compassion and being sane Then I would get rid of those brothers DOUBT, WORRY and FEAR Replace it with assurance, comfort and care Say go on to those cousins GUILT, SHAME and INSECURITY Adopt innocence, pride and confidence in me I see a bright light God is saying go back it is not your time yet There is much work to do and you must change your will and spirit You must be born again and become renewed, you must to continue to live on You have to do it fast before the day is gone Live your life in a different way, finish your work Because tomorrow you will start over and it will be a brand new day As I listen to his words, my spirit intertwines with my soul And everyone who surrounds me tells me it’s not my time to go The blood starts pumping going to my arteries and veins I start to build strength, I start to show life again As movement in my body starts to take over me The air parts from my lips and then I start to breathe I open my eyes I can now see again Out of the darkness and into light Knowing I have a new family of friends FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY And God who brought back my LIFE and made my soul free This dead body is no more It has been nourished with love from up above And has taught me to care for myself with unconditional love The heart starts beating no longer registered as FLATLINE! Resuscitated by self-acceptance and self-love from the Father Divine Behold the only thing greater than yourself you will no longer have to fear it You have chosen your new life and a renewed spirit FLATLINE IS NOW DEAD! And my soul lives on I have been brought back to life and I will continue to stay strong
