I Didn'T Die

written 7.28,17 "I Didn't Die" by: Eric L. Boddie Now I admit that I still have a slight case of amnesia Because I had a slight heat stroke that triggered me to have seizures And I spent 8 days in a hospital bed Being on a respirator with all kinds of tubes and needles in my arms and head And not once did The Creator ever leave my side Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since the doctors told me I almost died This was at least the fourth such incident to enter into my Life Maybe it is because I have often asked death to end all my pain and strife But Only God Knows what is truly in store for me Maybe it is our ordeals that define our true identity I was in intensive care from one Saturday to the next Then I was released to the street because To God, nothing is too complex I fought with all I had to rise up out of that hospital bed With so much family and friends around me, their Prayers are why I am not dead So from this day forward, I will continue to do my best to do what is Right Because on the Day Of Judgment, I Pray To Bask In Holy Light God Bless you all and never take Life for granted Because by doing so, even the Life that seems hardest will be totally enchanted....
