Life After Death

I remember taking the pills
My life was in such a mess
Things were getting worse
So much I should confess
Then I lay me down to sleep
I prayed to God my soul to keep
I didn't want to hurt any more
And didn't know what was in store
Someone came in and I was found
An ambulence raced me threw town
Then in ER I lay on a table
Not talking,I wasn't able
They said we lost her,who do we call
I laid there and I heard it all
Next I was going down a country lane
I just lay watching,not in any pain
The colors so beautiful,so bright and clear
Didn't even wonder I got here
I could see someone in the lane up ahead
It was my brother.he had been long dead
He said Sis go back,it's not your time yet
I didn't want to.I wanted to stay,to forget
Then I was back to deal with my night
I have changed since seeing the light
God sent me back,no I wasn't rejected
Guess some things need to be perfected
Over two hundred pills,I am still here
God must of thought I was pretty dear
Today when I doubt my worth,I rant and rave
I remember God thought me worthy enough to save

Life And Death...

A very dear friend of mine tried commiting suicide recently with pills. She was in the emergency ward, and strapped down to a hospital bed when I saw her last. And that was after they'd pumped her stomach!
She'd taken 60 or more painkillers and was on the verge of death!
Freespirit, my dear friend, you are lucky to be alive....and so is she!
May both of you live a long and joyfull life!
My love to both of you!!! TJ
