I'M a Survivor

They say you escape death six times in your life time I beg to differ I survived the birth canal growing up int the 70's eating off the land eating cat food eating mud pies I've survived child birth stitches stretch marks surgery iv's working in factories a hospital fast food restaurants, but no one's really prepared me to suvrive life in general waking up and breathing is a gift a gift some people mis-use by drugs, making the wrong decisions or just not living I choose to survive everyday to enjoy life and all it's greatness I choose to survive the bad, sad and happiness Because I'm a Survivor

Indeed, Karen, and I am one of those who misused and took that gift for granted ... I am glad you did not, but chose to rather live a life of courage and determination! Blessings and congrats on the HM - I enjoyed this very much! :-)
