Powerful Prayer In (Icu)

Waking up from being in a comma In the hospital psych ward I looked around to try and get my bearings But I still couldn’t grasp where I was As I slowly opened my red swollen eyes To see exactly what I could see I looked into the eyes of my sister She was staring down at me She called out my name “Tina” More times than I could count I could only surmise from hearing her voice The times were an indefinite amount I heard familiar sounds that I’d heard many times before They came from my baby sister Jackie She was praying for me right there on the hospital floor I turned and I looked around the room To see who else was there  I felt like I heard prayers surrounding me They were coming from everywhere I looked around and saw my dad Jeff And my Aunt Barbara and my Uncle Curt too As if in sync, they all said to me “Tina, we are all, right here for you” Those beautiful words I heard from them Gave me the strength that day to want to stay alive Because they were in that room praying for me I literally felt the presence of GOD! Prayer is so very powerful and all I had left was my faith To ensure that I would pull through So I write this poem to thank God the father My aunt, my uncle, my father, and Jackie I especially want to thank you!
