"We Lived" - A Poem
Time
Seemed endless
Stretched out
On a cry
Less than seconds
Tell me why
Today
Why now
Help me
Understand how
One day
Can sour
So suddenly
Curdling
Crushing
Spirits
Spiking fears
Still no tears
But the little hurts
That say
We lived
I was in a minor car accident earlier this week. We all walked away afterward (not equally unscathed but it could have been worse). I'm eternally grateful for the carseat my son was in. It did exactly what it was supposed to and he's absolutely fine. There was a point when I thought the car would tip over and I really wasn't sure things would turn out okay. I haven't been that scared in a long time.
I want to say that that day sucked but I've been trying to consciously practice gratitude so I'll be focusing on what went right. Like the fact that there was a (hopefully functional) camera pointed at the spot the collision took place so sorting this out with the insurance people should be simple. Anyway, stay safe out there.
Peace
