My Life
The first time I was on a near death experience,
I was 25
Cold winter day
Lightly snowing
Icy roads
Frost coved windshields
Car lights passing
And gone
Kids in the backseat
Music going loud
Talking on the phone
Screaming and crying
Wild like a zoo...my zoo
On the freeway
Signs flying by,
Cars speeding past
A deer in the center of my lane
Sliding this way and skidding that way
I heard the kids go quite then screaming
Louder than before with fear in their voices
It was all a blur
We were on a thin sheet of ice and I heard cracking
But the one thing I can remember the most was what I didn’t know
How to make it all go away, how to make it back to normal
Living my life the same, I don't think I can
I don't really remember what happened
Next but there was a flash of light and I shut my eyes,
But when I opened them
We were in a white room, bright with lots of colors
Flowers, toys, big teddy bears
1 deer is all that it took
For me to realize how
Fragile and precious life is...
I didn't know what happen but I think I had help from above...
