Though he is gone
As an angel he came
His body is dust
Yet he looked the same

I'd just left work
It had been a hard day
I remember waking
To the words he did say

"Sis wake up"
I thought it a dream
"I said wake up!"
I heard him scream

My head snapped up
My eyes opened wide
There I was driving
Down the wrong side

I saw the lights
It was a truck
I remember thinking
"This is it... OH F***"

Brake real hard
Now crank the wheel
My God what's happening
It's so surreal

I did what he said
I braked and turned
Gasping for breath
How my chest burned

The truck went by
As I sat there
Looking around
Becoming aware

I looked over
To see him walking
It really was him
I'd heard talking

The man in the truck
Came back to where
I was sitting shocked
And could only stare

He asked me then
"Are you alright?"
"Where's the walking man?"
"You both gave me a fright"

I said to him then
"I'm so sorry, I'm OK"
There wasn't much more
I was able to say

Then he left
Letting out a sigh
I looked around
And started to cry

I threw rocks and screamed
Then sat on the ground
My world had been
Turned upside down

On the other side
Facing the other way
I'd fallen asleep
And my car'd gone astray

I sat a long while
Torn up inside
I found myself sitting
Right where he had died

This man is my brother
I carry with me
Now he's my angel
For all to see


This is a thing that really happened about two months after Lurch died. I still get chills thinking about it. With God all things are possible... Always near

That is spooky yet at the same time touching.

Beautiful and moving! Thank you for sharing. xxxx

WOW!!!! I rwally believe that it did happen. Had something not quite similar to that happen after my son died. It scared the sh*t out of me.

this happens far more than you think, and for things not as life threatening sometimes....good to know eh?

Imagine how I felt! Thank you
