One Instant Driver

Driving my parent's car down the road not realizing my surroundings
In that one instant that I blinked a collision and I crash into another car's rear end
My parent's car is totaled and the front end heavily smashed in
Air bags come bursting forth out from no where and I black out and am in total darkness
In that one instant I could have lost my life due to just one moment of looking down
Once again God took piety on me and allowed me to survive what could have been a fatal mistake
I awoke to the falling debris of the airbags stuffing
Slightly confused, shock, and a wreck, I stupidly declined an ambulance
My parents come and get me upset the car is totaled, but more happy that I'm living
That whole week following the wreck I barely remember like a hazy mess
I slept and slept for I could not awake, my head throbbed and all I could contemplate
Was the bobbing of my head back and forth in the car before I blacked out
Sunday I try to stay awake in church, but somethings wrong I can feel it
It feels like my head is spinning in a hundred different directions
Loosing sense to what I hear and see I know I must take a trip to the emergency
There the doctors look at me and say you have a concussion
So hazy and so confused, x-rays, cat scans show nothing unusual
So to physical therapy I go a little relief but doesn't show
That one instant that I blinked while driving cost me countless hours of sleep
Cost me to have worse migraines than before
Cost me to suffer forever head and neck pain
A pillow so soft to some is like a brick to me
It throbs and feels all sorts of unpleasant things
Three or four years ago this was and like I should have been so careful now I warn you
Pay attention to the road, for you never know what lies farther down the road
If you blink for an instant you could pay with your life or pain forever
I was already sick due to a rare genetic blood disease and now I've added to my pain so stupidly of me
Sometimes we don't think ahead and end up worse than before we started.

Her Faith Is Strong

Tiring was these times for her yet she continued on her way.

Restless were the nights she saw the demons fighting her each day.

Painful were the thorns in her side as she wrestled every day.

Yet she carried on, being, believing in God, keeping high her faith.

While others laughed and mocked the way she was.

She knew that there would be better days.

Every curse they snare upon her, she rebuked it and went on her way.

Strong she was inside of her, yet weak her body she lay.

Even though the disease was affecting her.

She continued on her way.

Knowing that God, was good and faithful, never leaving her side.

Knowing that a crown he'd put on her when her race of life was run.

When others betrayed her, God soon became her best friend.

While demons attacked her, God gave peace to her in these times.

When the hours were long and the pain was too much, God soon made a way for her.

When everything comes crumbing down before her, she holds fast to God faithful hand.
