Second Chances
I have been:
Struck by lightning
Knocked down by a pit bull
Stared down by a bear
Stalked by a mountain lion
Strangled by anaphylaxis
Crushed by bankruptcy.
I have survived:
A catastrophic car crash
Extremely dumb decisions
Painful falls
And dashed dreams.
Yet somewhere in there:
I found beautiful, wonderful
Gifts.
Like love, family,
Friendship, and adventure.
I learned:
The value of life
The wonder of the second chance
I discovered risk often works out
And I realized I must be here
For a reason.

LOVE IT. God's deliverance is in everything. Not always the obvious. Your poem used all the crayons in the box, reminding me that even the brown one has purpose. Actually, don't flowers grow in dirt?
