Hindsight 20 20

Hindsight 20: 20 With the belly swelling for days And the stool stuck in the entrails, For me it seemed end of sun rays And soon I did start to derail. As the swelling still did persist And acute pains started to pick, Pains that I could no more resist, I was rushed to a cute clinic. Urgent tests carried out on site Revealed quite a pitiful plight: Hernia stuck with large intestine Both needed to be chopped in line. I wondered: yet more surgeries! With two major ones undergone, Without the Lord`s divine mercy Chance of success was quite forlorn. Close of kin being hesitant To agree to the surgery, With faith in the Lord, my consent I did convey without worry. *********** Next day awakened by a nurse Amidst beeps and clattering sounds I wondered if I was on earth Or in some aerial surrounds. Soon after opening my eyes I was briefed by a duty nurse That I`d missed soaring to the sky, But God had spared me from a curse. To the heavens I heaved my thanks And hummed His name without relent For sprinkling on me His mercy And for abating my worry. Ever since, my faith in the Lord Flared up like an incessant flame And as long as I can afford I pledged to frame hymns in His name. On hindsight, the tough surgery Chopped out dozens pounds of my flesh, But drove me to the Trinity That I could eye sunshine afresh.
