I Could Have Died

I COULD HAVE DIED

09/11/2011

I’ve always been a survivor, always come back strong,

And ready to take on the next challenge of life, regardless of the obstacles.

I’ve had poor health before, but the last time I was hospitalized,

It was more than just a close call, it was a miracle I survived so well.

Instead of question it, I choose to reflect on it, to analyze it,

To take it a part, and inspect it piece by piece.

Chorus:

I could have died,

But I had strength enough to come up again,

And show the world what I was made of.

I could have died,

But, I re-surfaced after drowning for so many hours,

And, I’m ready to get back to what’s important in life.

I remember that morning I opened my eyes for the second time,

And that lady was talking to me, and asking me to drink some juice,

I thought I was dreaming the entire thing,

I didn’t really believe a word she was saying.

But, as time passed over the month of July,

I slowly recovered, hung in there, and eventually

I had found something meaningful to boast about: Life.

I was lucky, and proud to be alive,

And so my new motto became:

That I always managed to survive!

Report Chorus

When I look back at that period now,

And I see how I am today,

I can see that I have improved dramatically,

Not just physically, but mentally as well.

Yes, I could have died, but, I escaped death

And, I found the strength to survive.

This should serve as a lesson to everyone:

That you can survive anything, Once you believe in yourself!
