Perseverance is the promise that a better life awaits,
A life of promised blessings to the faithful,
Never ending healings,
Propelling me,
To be,
The survivor I was created to be,
This catalytic change helped me modify my mind-set,
In the aftermath of my accident,
And letting the God of love prevail,
Casting out the negative thoughts that were so prevalent in my life,
That primarily came from a thirty year addiction,
And denouncing the demons of my progression,
Was a success,
Causing me to reflect on my past decisions,
What would I have done differently,
If I had never had the drive to survive,
Striving to thrive in any situation,
Would I give up?
Not so,
I would recite in my mind,
Your body is the Temple of God,
Do right by its light,
So this has,
And will be,
My journey of self-motivation
I was grateful to be alive,
But I still had many obstacles to face and overcome,
One by one,
Perseverance was the pursuit,
I was in the fight of my life,
I found my fuel lying in a hospital bed,
Staring past the ceiling,
Wondering,
What my life would be like now,
And in ten years,
I did not know how long,
That the road of rehabilitation would be,
A lifetime pursuit,
Unable to imagine,
How lonely the shedding of tears would be,
They were the beginning of fears fleeing away,
Because in my future,
I could see brighter days,
And how those ways were going to be realized,
Were eventually restored to me in Christ,
And will be endured forever,
Because the memories of my darker days,
Linger like a storm cloud overhead no more.
