Divine Intervention

I recall a scary time 
when I brushed shoulders with death.
A blustery winter wind
seeded snow with freezing rain.

I got stuck on the highway
in whiteout conditions.
And the road was one big mess,
traffic was moving too fast.

Hitting a patch of black ice,
I’m spinning out of control.
And I’m right in the path of
an on-coming tanker truck.

The driver’s frightened face was
visibly white with panic.
Letting the steering wheel go,
I was prepared to meet death.

A calmness came over me,
there was no panic or fear.
For I knew it’d be over
in a mere millisecond.

Then something miraculous
occurred, and my life was changed.
Through Divine intervention,
my car got nudged to the side.

And then that tanker whizzed by
with only inches to spare.
I then believed and thanked God,
for my guardian angel.

L Milton Hankins Date: 12/18/2021 6:55:00 PM What an experience! I truly believe in guardian angels, Emile. I'm certain my momma is a guardian angel to me, and I know she has saved me from various kinds of disaster through my lifetime. Yes, indeed!
