My Life Remains

"My Life Remains" by: Eric L. Boddie One week ago I looked death in the face without fear Since Jesus Is In my heart, I am still here Riding along with my uncle, a friend pulled into our path And he hesitated rather than mashing the gas There was nothing we could do, Unc tried his best to miss And as he veered slightly to the left, there were four Lives that can now reminisce Of an event that could have torn two families apart But God Was With us from the very start No broken bones, but the doctors say I may have a pinched nerve Because the strength in my right arm seems to have forgotten how to serve And that is the write arm and writing is about all I can now do This is something I would wish for no one to go through But s*** happens, and that is all I can say And before it happens to you, make sure you Know How To Pray

I'm sorry to know about this, Eric. Except for the arm, you seem to be okay now ...I'm relieved to see. Your write expressed how you felt and the assurance that comes from your faith. Hope you feel much better these days. hugs!
