Reading Between the Lines
In just six weeks, I had three unnerving big scares
My angels must be surely working overtime upstairs
I thank you sincerely for keeping me unharmed
But I'm nervous and becoming increasingly alarmed
Is my time getting close God, are you giving me warning signs
To get my affairs in order, or am I reading between the lines
In the first incident a car almost ran me over while it reversed
My sister blared her horn her head and heart almost burst
The car stopping just two inches from me, oh so very close
I thank you my guardian angels, I'm not ready to say adios
Is my time getting close God, are you giving me warning signs
To get my affairs in order, or am I reading between the lines
The second incident involved two motorcycles speeding recklessly
Causing our cars to stop abruptly at high speeds so unpleasantly
I swerved to avoid hitting car in front, almost got hit from behind
Driving past the burning motorcycle, thanking angels in my mind
Is my time getting close God, are you giving me warning signs
To get my affairs in order, or am I reading between the lines
The third incident occurred while driving with my three sons and grand daughter
A deer collided with my car, maybe I need to douse myself in blessed holy water
We were shook up but uninjured, once again I looked to heavens above
I'm so deeply indebted angels for protecting me and the ones I love
Is my time getting close God, are you giving me warning signs
To get my affairs in order, or am I reading between the lines
~ I do hope that the theory that things happens in three's applies here ~
