lonesome dove



God, why am i dying? why am i the only one crying? were are the family and friends i love... i lay here alone dying like a lonesome dove. the light is  getting bright yet i can still see. Heavens were i must be I can hear a faint sound of people crying.. GOD PLEASE, stop me from dying, He sees i still have some fight. AT that He stops my flight. im back in my hospital bed confussion fills my head. ill have to battle another day alone i fear.. my friends and family tell me they love me.. those are the words i needed  to hear, the room is filled with so much love... IM NO LONGER THE LONESOME DOVE....
