Life became a Dream

It had been 3 years since the wedding.
That day they made a vow,
"Till death do us part"
Now that condition had been fulfilled.
She could not believe her ears.

He had promised them their best Christmas.
He had it planned to the final second.
He would take them to the amusement park,
They would play all day and eat a lot.
Even if he had no money, he had made a promise.

He had dropped them off at the park
Then he got a call and had to leave them.
This would be his big break.
He would be able to give them the world.
His thoughts suddenly came to a halt.

His body broke through the wind shield.
Why was he levitating?
What was that sharp pain in his body?
Why was he suddenly approaching the ground?
Was this the end? CRASH!!!

Now he laid almost lifeless on the cold ground.
He couldn't bear knowing she would cry.
Who would be there to comfort her.
These thoughts filled his head
As he recorded his last message to her.

"Merry Christmas my dear, I love you so much.
Please Take care of our boys...
I'm sorry I'm leaving you to raise them alone.
Please forgive me,my love.
Finally, when they ask of me,

Tell them this, "Daddy loves you so much boys
That's why he travelled to meet Jesus,
He'll be there for a really long while.
So whenever you need him,
Just know he's watching you and he loves you""

Slowly, his teary eyes blurred.
Then verily, verily, verily, his life became a dream.
