What's Important
Walking through the bushes I turn and see an unborn baby. Born but unborn.
I look back up at myself , and I’m five.
Times turning, I look forward and see an older women
Maybe in my thirties.
I look behind and see a 12 year old girl chasing after something
I turn forward again and see myself crying at 18.
My diploma was in my hand but my present wasn’t.
I look down and I see a grave.
Not my name but a women’s name
It doesn’t look familiar so then I look up and think.
I’m on a cloud leading up
And so then I see Jesus.
Before I knew it my life flashed through my eyes.
I cried. Tears of joy peered out as I reunite with my family.
I felt the hot sun beaming on my black shoulders.
I moved my pupils to the left and see a bush.
I turn and see a dead body. Dead but undead.
The dead body was me. I ask why I was given a second chance.
The voice answered, you deserve life. You can’t die when you heart is full.
You have so much to give. I gave you a sight of what you will have when you are unborn.
Don’t ever call yourself dead. You will forever be alive.
