I know that Death will find me one day,
It nearly found me some time ago
But I escaped its clutches
And was given a second life.
That life is so wonderful,
It has given me freedom,
Freedom of purpose
To do the things I want to do
Without need to worry,
As I may have done in my first life.
The positivity in my life is so strong,
Everything I see and do is so good.
Sad things do happen
But deep in my heart I can resolve them
And keep moving forward.
They say “Death where is your sting?”
It tried to sting me once,
And missed,
Leaving me with a new freedom in life.
So I no longer look behind me
To see if Death is coming,
I just look forward into my joyous future.

are you talking about the day you were or when you fell in love?
No Jessica, I had a problem and was told if I didn't have an operation to cure it I would die.
