When I became ill, <br />And was prepared to die... <br />I closed my eyes. <br />Took a breath and sighed. <br />And when I decided, <br />My life was done... <br />I felt 'something'! <br />And I heard 'someone'! <br />And 'She' teased and said, <br />'You may be ready for death... <br />But 'We've' got more for you instead! <br />You better get your ass up! <br />And out of that bed! ' <br /> <br />Just like that... <br />I felt 'Her' smile in my head! <br />What in the world...? <br /> <br />I could not believe this at all! <br />I opened my eyes... <br />And saw lights dance upon the walls! <br />I began to feel such a change in me. <br />With a will to live... <br />And with incredible energy! <br />I got out of bed and began to exercise. <br />The doctors and nurses were all quite surprised! <br />Even I could not explain to them... <br />What had happened overnight! <br />I did not know how or where to begin! <br />Or what I could or could not say to them! <br /> <br />I 'know' there is a God. <br />And 'spirits' around unseen! <br />I am a witness to this. <br />This I did not dream! <br />And every second of each day... <br />I give thanks and stay in prayer! <br />I am here by the grace of God! <br />And what others believe... <br />I really do not care! <br /> <br />'Something' is so powerful! <br />And that 'something' is there! <br />That 'Something' is collectively called God... <br />And IT is very much aware!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
