Saved

Love from a bright, beautiful woman saved me
As the birth of my son gave me my life's purpose
But I'm alive in the moment now for two reasons
I was not aborted, despite being a child of rape
My life was spared when my neck was broken
Random chances of living from the fall
I had survived, but my body was forsaken
Between all circumstance, chance and grace
Survived the dangerous moments of my life
Or perhaps, life survived me, long enough
So that love could heal me, make me ready
For the destination, enough left to live
For my life without strife and sorrow
Let me stand, let my aim be steady
Here I go
