St. Francis Hospital
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Written: by Miracle Man
8/4/2017
Sixteen bags dangled from a medical drip frame,
Each dripping liquids for prolonging my survival;
Now, as days pass by a question lingers the same,
Why from the throes of death came my revival.
Everything had to be perfect and each in its place,
A window of five minutes, I’m told, existed for me.
Were I not at the hospital, and but for God’s grace,
I’d not be here today but be counted an absentee.
I believe for each happening God has His reason,
And yet I find myself struggling for some resolute.
I know that for all things there exists a season,
Was it for my testimony on my remaining route?
Doctors and Nurses at the Hospital referred to me
As The Protected One or Miracle Man
I dedicate this to the giver of life
And all those who had a hand in extending mine;
Tom
