Until the Last Rep

Until the Last Rep

My body’s slowly shutting down…
I’ll do my best—
let’s just hit the muscles that still work.

I feel dehydrated from uncontrollable crying…
give me a second—let me get some water,
then we’ll get to the next set.

That workout was hard… I can’t breathe…
my lungs don’t work the same anymore—
just give me 30 more seconds.

It’s getting hard to swallow…
can you just put the protein shake through my feeding tube?

Hey…
after this, I’ll make you some spaghetti—
with the one arm that still works.

Oh, and by the way…
The Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit called today.
I let it go to voicemail.

I’ll call them back after my birthday.
I just want one more taste of icing…
mixed with tears on my lips—
before I say goodbye.

BETTY UP!
