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.
