The Day My Angel Came Poem by Hope Elizabeth

I was shot four times
Bullet hit my spine
Mind went blank, 'Heaven please wait'
I fought so hard, I didn't want to die
But I lost my will, I was about to fly

Out of darkness, appeared a light
My very first sight
The light was an Angel, so beautiful, so gold
She grabbed my hands and this is what she told:

You have done horrible things
With the life you bring
But it is not your time
You must remember your crimes

Go into the world and help others sing
Send them the Message that Jesus is King
Help others reach, and accomplish their dreams
For you are surely destined for great things

Then my Angel disappeared
The darkness left
I awoke at last
Then immediately wept

I have been drug free for 10 years now
Only God's grace has kept me this long
I have traveled to many lands
From the USA to Africa and beyond
And showed them the scars
Oh how my God brought me so far!

Just one concluding thought:
Thank God for life, for everything
Because where would you be if it weren't for He?
