Amazing Grace with Steven Tyler
Amazing Song is a song normally sang when people die, at the funeral. Probably God is waiting for us when we die. He is waiting to lead us on the next journey of our life in another foreign land which we have yet to know. It is very sad to see our love one gone.
The last time I heard this song was at my grandfather (my mother’s father)’s funeral. It was at Mount Vernon. It was a very sorrowful occasion. All the children were sad over the father’s death. I was not really sorrowful over his death, as I was close to him. However, the occasion was sorrowful and it makes me sad and tears went down my cheeks too, thinking of how he had suffered on his death bed and in those days where my sister and me had visited him at the hospital.
The first time I learned this song was when I was in Kindergarten. My kindergarten was at St. Fransis Church of Assisi, and it was a one year course. I got to sing this song there then when the sister taught the class how to sing the song. That was those days when my mother brought me to go to school and bring me back home also.
Childhood days were gone. I would like to go back to be a child again if possible. It is so good to be a child, parents doting on you. Though you get scolding and caning, it is still so memorable, its time you spent with your closest kins, the kind of real family love, real people who love you and care for you. You don’t have to be on your guards for untrustworthy people around you.
My best friend is a dog. Though he is not around anymore, he is still my best friend. He never betrayed me, he never disobeyed me. He was always so patient, so fun-loving, so loyal to me. This is my last look at him, never will there be a chance to hold him again after that very day. Never will there be a chance for me to sleep with him anymore. No other dog will ever replace his position in my heart. He always will live in my heart.
I don’t like to sleep alone, do you? I don’t like to sleep alone, especially in the night time. It is so scary. I used to sleep with my beloved dog Cebest. He always keep me company wherever I go. Walking around in the house, he followed every step I made. I am not lonely with him around. I still think of my dear Cebest sometimes at night when I wake up or when it is hard to fall asleep. I can still remember the last night I spent with him. A normal night but yet he is very abnormal by my side. A normal night where I do not know that would be the last night we both will sleep together. Yet an abnormal night where he is very different from before. He was not as active as before. He was wet. He was noisy in his breathing. He must be in pain and suffering. A night were he smelled different too. Though he didn’t smelled good, I really cared for him. I did not bare to leave him alone. I was thinking of bringing him to the vet again the next day. Little did I know, the moment I open my eyes the early next day, he was not going to make it.
Till now, he is still remembered, not forgotten, never will.
I still hope time can go back. I want to sleep with him. I don’t like to sleep alone. Stay with me. Don’t go. I have not known you deep enough. I want to spend more time with you.
But everything is history now. I cannot lean on him anymore. I cannot sleep with him anymore. There’s no one to follow me everywhere I go now.
