The devil tried to
kill my sonin 1992.
It didn't quite get done,
because of what God knew!
The wreck, it was horrendous,
a firebird split in half,
human bodies broken
what unnecessary wrath
One lost both of his feet
and could have easily bled out
except for a little path of mud,
God knew all about
Three others, injuries had.
All rushed to emergency.
Ambulances screamed aloud
while all their tires did screech!
Notified by our daughter,
we jumped and ran in fear
hoping that somehow we could
once again draw near.
While enroute to the hospital,
a train track crossed our path.
Never have I ever shown
that kind of fearful wrath!
We saw a helicopter lift
while fearful tears we cried.
As we made our approach
Our daughter said, "he's still alive!"
We rose in the elevator
to the floor above,
seeing those flat sheets
instead of feet I love!
We got to talk to him
just a little while
we tried to bring comfort
to our frightened child!
As we left the room,
a precious friend I heard.
An arm circled round my neck
she rapid-fired the Word!
She reached for her change
to give it to me
she knew I'd need to make a call.
A giving woman she'd always be!
She had been a friend since childhood.
She'd always been near-by.
She was an EMT,
that rode by patient's side.
After time had passed,
new things were being learned,
just how God directed,
better than we'd heard!
Fast forward to a reunion,
at my sister's school.
Secrets were made known,
just showing how God rules.
A nurse and classmate
of my Sister's, shared
a word,of secrets
we had never heard.
In the ambulance with our son
on that desperate ride that night,
God provided just the ones
sent to fight that fight.
Prayer warriors on a mission,
unknowingly, placed by love,
praying all the way for him
keeping him from Heaven above!
It just wasn't quite his time
in fact for 18 years.
obstacles he would face,
and he faced them without fear!
One night in 2010,
the call for him went forth.
and we would come to learn
he left Earth for sides of the North!
Times of shock and sadness,
grief would take a toll
and yet God set direction,
and victory soon would roll!
Yes there's pain and sadness.
No, it wasn't fun.
there was a path to be taken
to finish out this run!
As time passed, sometimes slowly,
grace brought peace within,
and wonderful joy became
the blessed outcome coming in!
Victory now had been provided
glory was there to care
God gave us a story
and faith to stand and share!
