Accept

Lying in bed,
As the fire creeps near.
Sirens wailing,
Firemen calling.
It doesn't matter,
I can't answer.
I weep as the fire creeps,
Though it can't hurt me now.
Firemen call,
As I fall,
Into the blackness
Towards the light,
Gates opening,
Angels singing,
Sitting in Jesus' arms,
"Why," I cry, "did I die?"
"You lived your life,
You learned to love."
He said to me.
Accept what you can't change,
They can't bring you back from the dead.
