N.D.E. - I Talked To God (About a Near Death Experience)

I slipped out the side door Didn’t even hear it close Room got small and far away Felt no pain anymore I was in a place so quiet It felt brighter than the sun Every hurt I ever carried Fell off One by one I saw every day I wasted Every word I never spoke Every hand I could have taken Every little thread of hope I’ve been with the angels I talked to God He showed me my life Every bruise I got Every scar I held He touched my shoulder Talked to my soul Said «You are so much loved But You have more to learn Come back when you’re done» We walked through the first grade hallway You were there with missing teeth We watched you at that hospital When you thought you couldn’t breathe Saw the nights you almost ended What your children never see He said “Every time you chose to stay You were walking back to Me” He showed me all the quiet kindness That I never even felt How a single broken whisper Held together someone else I’ve been with the angels I talked to God He showed me my life Every bruise I got Every scar I held He touched my shoulder Talked to my soul Said «You are so much loved But You have more to learn Come back when you’re done» I said “I’m so tired I don’t know how to stay” He said “You’re not done learning How to give yourself away There’s a grandchild on a Sunday Who need your hand to hold There’s an ‘I forgive you’ trembling On a tongue that’s still too cold” I’ve been with the angels I talked to God He showed me my life Every bruise I got Every scar I held He touched my shoulder Talked to my soul Said «You are so much loved But You have more to learn Come back when you’re done» I woke up with a heartbeat The beeping sounded like grace Every breath now tastes like mercy Every wrinkle feels like faith When my body finally lets go I’ll remember what I was told “I’ll be here Just like before And then I’ll be with God I will be home
