I Love You
Just you and your mom
 driving down the street.
 Times like these
 nothing can ever beat.
 
 You look through the window
 and think one important thought.
 How lucky you are to have her
 and wonder if you did not.
 
 You turn to tell her you love her
 cause thats what she deserves.
 But she has a face of fear
 and she starts to swerve
 
 You look back up.
 You see the front of a truck
 coming straight at your car
 and all you can do is duck.
 
 It happened to fast
 as you tumble down the road.
 The windows are shattering.
 You're in a stunned, painful mode
 
 Next thing you know, you see a face
 and you're laying on the ground.
 You try to see or listen
 but you cannot hear any sound.
 
 You cant move your legs
 and you cant feel your arms.
 Then you see red flashing lights
 and you hear some alarms.
 
 Your vision is still blurry
 but you know you're alive.
 Then you have a terrifying thought..
 Is your mom still alive?
 
 You feel people lift you up
 and now you're in a car.
 You know its an ambulance
 and hoping a hospitol isnt far.
 
 You arrive there very fast
 and you get an IV.
 Your body keeps on hurting
 hoping less pain there will be.
 
 You see nurses and doctors 
 and you want to speak.
 But no words escape your mouth
 and your moms hand is what you seek.
 
 You're starting to fade.
 You breathe with all of your might.
 Theres no way its ending here.
 You're gonna put up a fight!
 
 Next thing you know
 you wake up in a room.
 Wanting to see your mom
 and hoping to hear from her soon.
 
 A nurse comes in
 and tells you you're alright.
 You're not going to die,
 but your mother just might.
 
 You beg to see her.
 You need to see her face.
 but when you got in that room,
 the vision of her will never erase.
 
 It didnt even look like her
 as you roll up by her side.
 You grab her hand with tears in your eyes
 thanking God she hasnt died.
 
 She looks in your eyes
 still with that motherly look.
 You prayed with her right there.
 and thats all it took.
 
 Two years later
 I still remember that day.
 A lot of pain and fear
 and all we had to do was pray.
 
 And here we are now.
 Driving together once again.
 Thankful for every moment.
 Knowing that all of it could end.
 
 I turn to my mother
 to say what i've always needed to.
 Three words with so much meaning.
 "Mom, I Love You."
