9/11 - survivor.

I saw the Lord.
As i drifted in and out.
I heard people calling.
But i couldn't shout.

Then in my mind.
I saw you.
It was hearing your voice..
That pulled me through.

Thinking that you..
Could be left alone.
Gave me the strength..
To come home.

Talking out loud.
As if you were there.
Remembering kisses.
The smell of your hair.

Trapped under rubble.
My chest was tight.
Hard to breath.
Will i win this fight?

I heard the screams.
I saw people fall.
Family members.
Making a final phone call.

But as i lye there.
I still had hope.
As if you were holding my hand.
Not about to let go.

You kept me alive.
You opened my eyes.
You healed my wounds.
Stopped me bleeding inside.

Hearing the words..
I thought you would say.
Telling me to get up.
And just walk away.

When they finally found me..
And lifted me high.
The first thing i saw.
Was a clear blue sky.

I fell asleep.
And when i came too.
I saw an angel.
That angel was you.

You kept me breathing.
You kept me awake.
Lucky to be alive.
I will cherish everyday.
