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!
