Survivors
As I set here
In the stillness
of the night,
my heart has a need
to put voice to the
feelings I have inside.
God has let me live long
and in living my life,
I have met friends and foes
at the crossing of the roads.
I learned much in 71 years
much more than I would have
chosen to know.
But it is from living and
surviving I learned to value
the knowledge life holds.
No one can understand what
one has not experienced...
Without having freedom taken
away ,one cannot truly
treasure the freedom one has.
Without losing a child, one
cannot truly know the void
and loss, one who has, endures.
There are so many things some
take for granted ...
Life is a gift. Don't take life or
liberty for granted.. Many have
fought and died for the right to
live free.
There's a reason why survivors
survive...When the time comes
you'll know why.
The world created survivors
God created the world.
