A Day I'Ll Never Forget

I was young and drinking, so I thought I'd be cool And jump my minibike off a ledge where we used to have a pool With a smile on my face I gave it some gas Little did I know this jump would be my last Upon landing I headbutted the handlebars and knocked myself out My friends rolled around laughing, thinking I was probably passed out They took me in the house and laid me in a bed Little did they know, that I soon would be dead My soul left my body into a light tunnel it went Reaching the other side I was unsure where I was sent Into a world of beauty, with my worries all left behind Standing there without a care was the most pleasing thing for my mind Then I was told "it's not your time, back into your body you must go" Into the lights and into my body,then I sat straight up yelling Noooo!!! That was the last word I said before being sent back Thankfully given a second chance to get my life back on track Contest:One Stand Out Day Dan Kearley:10-6-11
