MI VIDA
He lay quietly on his hospital bed
Weak and in pain, the cancer was winning
When he finallly spoke, he asked
"Is this where I am to die
Nothing more the doctors could do
HIs son sat night and day at
His fathers bedside
But another sat there , too
A hateful and insecure woman
The estranged second wife
But he longed to see his first wife
He longed for his beautiful first love
The Hateful One would not permit
Him to see her
Would not allow her to come and say goodbye
He asked "Where is Mi Vida
"Where is my baby, my beautiful Ann Michele
The Hateful One told the dying man to "Shut up
He died asking for Mi Vida, but to no avail
She was not allowed to enter his room
And sit by his bed, to tell him she loved him
Surely, the angels wept with the Beautiful One
Some day the Hateful One's time will come
Satan awaits
Weak and in pain, the cancer was winning
When he finallly spoke, he asked
"Is this where I am to die
Nothing more the doctors could do
HIs son sat night and day at
His fathers bedside
But another sat there , too
A hateful and insecure woman
The estranged second wife
But he longed to see his first wife
He longed for his beautiful first love
The Hateful One would not permit
Him to see her
Would not allow her to come and say goodbye
He asked "Where is Mi Vida
"Where is my baby, my beautiful Ann Michele
The Hateful One told the dying man to "Shut up
He died asking for Mi Vida, but to no avail
She was not allowed to enter his room
And sit by his bed, to tell him she loved him
Surely, the angels wept with the Beautiful One
Some day the Hateful One's time will come
Satan awaits
