It Was a Miracle That I Survived the Accident

About several years ago

I had a car accident in my sporty fancy car

the car was clean and full with gas

I stopped to make a left turn

a few miles away from home

on that day, I was alone

possibly, my Mother and Daughter, or other were to go with me on that day

somehow, I think that they cancelled as I went on my way

I imagined if someone was in the car with me on that day

Oh Lord, what would of been if they was there

you see God knows your life

it was a miracle that I survived it all

after being hit from the back as I can re-call

an elderly man driving so fast

the noise was so loud as it quickly lasted

the back end of my car was dented all of the way in

as I got out of the car and looked so surprised

I said to myself, It is not so bad

until I looked at the back end of the car

half way gone totalled out, as I could of shouted!!!!

But, I thank God that it was not me that was damaged

I can get another car, my life was in a surprise mode

I am so glad that my seat belt was on

someone said that if I did not have my seat belt on 

I could of been thrown, maybe long gone

some people started bringing my car parts to me

gathering around at the car accident scene

as people were standing by

the driver was there too, he was okay

I am glad for us both we made it through

I asked him later at the hospital

What happened? He first said; are you that Lady that was driving the car?

I replied yes, He said that he just did not see me

I said to him God is good

Angels were there on that special day

a extraordinary way was made

I was guided into a parking lot and the car then stopped

after I was hit, I wonder if this man was lit

I just knew that I was a survivor and he was too

the Lord spared me on that most terrifying day

All I can say is Thank you Lord with Praises

I could have died or maybe been paralyzed

my neck was so sore after that scene

I went home later that night after being tested

it was a day that I'll always remember

I am here this day to tell this testimony

I am here for a purpose I made it out alive

Until this day and always I am thankful and greatful to GOD

I am in my right and sound mind.
