Poem for Tommy from Cheryl Forsee I woke up early thinking I would go about my day. I started mowing around 8:30 And thinking that this was a wonderful day. I thought about my life, and all the ones I love. About how full and happy I felt. When all of a sudden I was looking above, I felt myself rise..... what happened? I thought. And then I knelt..... There I was, my body lying askew I saw the flashing lights. The ambulance crew, I watched and followed. I heard them say "This is senseless, A life so young has been taken away." Before I knew it I saw my mother, They told her I was gone, I wasn't going to make it. She would need to decide. I screamed... I'm here! As I hovered by her side. She said I can't do that, thats not a given. I watched this woman that had given me life, So broken and beaten inside. And I thought to myself ... I'll make that decision, I don't want to go. But my time is now, So I'll show you in the only way I know how. By this last act know that I'm here. I'll always love you, and always be near.
