And I felt myself going I was in a great deal of pain it was a very frightening experience But I began to slip I just sort of feel myself going and I remember trying to hold on I'll be ok I'll be ok And it got to the point where I just couldn't And everything began to just become very quiet And I can remember with every ounce of strength I had I wanted to say goodbye to my wife it was important to me And I did I remember just turning my head looking at her and saying I'm gonna die goodbye Joan and I did It was then that I experienced Experienced what we call a near death experience For me there was nothing near about it it was there It was a total immersion in light brightness warmth peace security I did not have an out of body experience I did not see my body or anyone about me I just immediately went into this beautiful bright light It's difficult to describe matter of fact it's impossible to describe Verbally it cannot be expressed It's something which becomes you and you become it I could say that I was peace I was love I was the brightness It was part of me Goodbye my friend Love will never end And I feel like you And I breathe all truth Love is the lifebreath of all I see Love is the truelight inside of me And I know you somehow As I hold you in my heart In my heart There's a fire in the sky And I know it's you Senses following me There's a light that's so bright And I know it's you And I dream like you And I believe in truth For I was always there And I will always be there And it's just so beautiful It was eternity It's like I was always there And I will always be there That my existence on earth was just a very brief instant I could say that I was peace I was love I was the brightness It was part of me
