Thank you for a Great Life

I never thought I would ever want to die
Especially since I was a young mother
In my thirties when I thought I was going to

I was about to have a car wreck, and knew I was a goner
I yelled out “Thank you for a great life,” and bam….
I thought I would look down and see my body

Instead, I had a feeling of disbelief and regret
Regret that I did not die?
I think so.
I guess whatever is after this life is a heck of a lot better.
