ok well today marks 6 months from the night my dad was shot, so my family met for dinner so we could be together.  it was around an hour drive each way so i had some time to think.  just wanted to try out a new rhyme scheme and see what happens.
if my life was a movie, i wonder what song would play,
on august 25th 2006, the most horrible day.
hours later, the 26th, my dad passed away,
hit by a bullet, but no not a stray.
came to the hospital, they said he'd be OK,
last time i ever listen to what a doctor has to say.
what music would they play in the background at the wake?
camera focused on my face, watching as my heart aches.
zoom out, watch my whole body tremble and shake,
still thinking, "my dads not gone, this is a mistake."
going back now, what song would set the scene?
when i almost died, parents tears would fill the screen.
not a normal asthma attack, the worst they've ever seen,
could've been a death before i was even a teen.
but they didn't give up all the doctors did convene
nebulizer saved my life, im still here because of that machine.
moving ahead now, what song would i hear?
when the wheel fell off my bike, chin split wide and clear.
blood all in my hands, but my house was no where near
finally looked in the mirror and i knew it was severe.
i could see my chin bone, the skin did dissapear
if it wasn't for the helmet i doubt i'd still be here.
what song would finally play in the restaurant where we ate?
family together excpet one, 6 months from the shooting date.
normally he'd be coming, so dinner could await,
but we know he's not coming back, he's not just working late.
waitress asks if it's a special occasion, but a painful mood we won't create,
6 months closer to heaven- where we will again all conjugate.
