Gratitude

Where do I begin?

Three times in this life

I've almost 'shuffled off this mortal coil'.

As a baby I was touched by God's hand

as He guided the surgeon's.

As an adult, in a foreign land,

I planned the ending,

by my own hand.

E saved my life,

with encouraging words,

and friendship, through the darkest of days.

Thank you, E.

And three years ago,

in the midst of the 'madness'

I was wheeled under bright lights

into a sterile room

where people in gowns

and masks, with scalpels and gas,

once again saved a life that was teetering on the edge;

by the grace of God.

My gratitude is immense.

My gratitude is unending.

My gratitude asks, why?

My gratitude doesn't need an answer.

My gratitude is endless.
