Did You Know?


Mama.

Papa.

Did You Know?

Did  you know

In the 16 years I would be alive

I would almost die 3 times.

First time I was in the womb

You didn't know not to consume your medication.

It slowed your heart and almost stopped mine. 

Mama I'm glad you listened to the doctor so I could be alive.

The second event were I was almost 6 ft under

Family vacation is when I took a plunder

Five feet deep and I was stuck at the bottom.

I thought I could swim , left my floaties and my sister got'em

I tried to get back to the surface, 

But I was so little, it served no purpose.

Saved by my brother in just the right time 

If he didn't come maybe ya would've done time.

The third time where I would nearly got to meet God

Was 2013, April my insides infected.

It ruptured and I was being poisioned by myself

This time I'm glad I didn't almost die by myself.

Mama.

Papa.

If you knew I would almost die 

Three times, in my life.

If  someone for told you my future 

That your heart would ache some nights because my health

Would you have kept me.

Or do you believe the ache in your heart is only for a moments time

And that I will bring you more joy when I become a big time.
