Another Chance

by ben thompson   Feb 19, 2007


My throbbing head pounds, details all blurry.
Body racked by pain, hit a tree in my hurry.

My last memories were at the bar drinking.
Must've got behind the wheel, what was I thinking.

Copious amounts of blood pour down my cheek.
I must try to find some help before I'm too weak.

Just as I lost hope, and had begun to think I was gone.
Up comes a paramedic humming a beautiful song.

His tone reassuring, his demeanor so calm.
Immediately I felt better, like I was safe all along.

From there I went out and the next thing I knew.
The medic was gone, I awoke in a room.

The doctor said " you'll make it but your injuries are severe".
I said " thank God that medic got me over here".

The doctor frowned, "I found you out front collapsed with no coat".
There was no paramedic, he must've been a ghost.

Weeks later, confused but feeling much better.
I arrived at my house to find a odd letter.

When I opened it there was only one single line.
Miracles do happen, it wasn't your time.
