The Day I Died



The day I died
Was the day I deliver my
First female child
I was happy to see her
So small and so sweet,
the tiniest baby you ever
want to see.

My baby was so precious
and so dear to me,
that I name her after
my mommy.

This would have been
a happy occasion for me
but, I closed my eyes and went
to sleep; then my soul floated to the
ceiling.

As I was floating through this Universe,
I hear and saw the doctors standing
over me speak a sigh of grief.
“She is gone," they said, with sadness in their faces.

I didn’t want my life to end this way
because, I remember my baby.
Even though I was not feeling pain anymore,
Peace was all around me. I wanted to hold
my littler baby again so,
I begin to pray for God to pardon my
sins and I asked the Lord Jesus to let
me live again.

The second after I prayed my soul enter my
body again and I knew that their's life after death
because the day I died, was the same day my soul begin to live again.
