The Protected One

The Protected One Written: by Tom Wright 2/25/2017 Blocked from my memory, a segment of time, For Cardiac Arrest was then taking its toll. From above was music, to my ears, sublime, But God was not hasty in claiming my soul. The curtains of heaven parted just for me, No other could discern God’s angelic choir. Christian people were praying and did agree, God was in control though it appeared dire. Doctors have told me that I shouldn’t be here, That a miracle, that day, happened in my life. While my wife and others were sated with fear, God, the great physician, directed the knife. As I now look back at recent fields I’ve plowed, I’m told that my surviving was at eight percent. While physically battered my spirit was unbowed, For God was not ready for my Heavenly ascent. Since, Doctors and workers often refer to me, As a Fighter, The Protected One, or Miracle Man; But I’m only the vehicle that God chose by decree, And all things will transpire pursuant to His plan.
spent a total of 2 months in hospital with 3 surgeries. back surgery and on Dec 29th survived the widow maker and 3 days later had sudden cardiac arrest.

To have a very serious health problem gives one the ability to see what is real. God is real. He gave the doctor the skill to help you. This is a very enlightening poem. Thank you for sharing.

Not only is the rhyme and flow perfect, so well-written, but the message is inspirational, one I personally love hearing first hand. You had a miracle, not only in terms of your life, but a miracle 'glancing'. I am awed and imagine that you live perfectly comforted. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
