I Never Consciously Wanted to Die
I never consciously ever ever wanted to die
But one time during a car wreck I knew I was going to die
I was traveling eighty-six miles an hour on gravel.
Came to a t-road and knew there was no way to make the curve.
I yelled “thank you God for a great life!” right before my car slammed into an embankment.
I expected to look down and see my broken bleeding body.
But I was still in it.
I had the weirdest feeling ever.
I recognized it as this – I was disappointed that I had not died.
This shocked me.
It was a totally unexpected feeling.
When I ponder this feeling I know where it came from.
Part of my, the soul part, knows that whatever is waiting for me after death
Is much better than being here.
