Picking up some pieces, laying on the ground,
Stooping slowly, picking up, off the hardened ground.
Bending over, now to see, a man, he is in pieces,
Slowly standing up again, pain it finally ceases.

Looking into my hands I find that they do bleed,
Hoping now, to find this friend, is all I really need.
Peering at the pieces found, I know that he is hurt,
Finding him, without a doubt, bleeding in the dirt.

Watching as the people gather, paramedics too,
I wonder who this man is, thinking it was who.
As I watch a friend of mine, slowly coming by,
Slowly stepping from the car I know and wonder why.

Friends of mine are with my wife, and I can hear her screams,
Now I look upon a face, this man is me it seems.
Knowing what I do of life and traveling afar.
Seeing blood upon her hands I mustn’t go too far.

As I watched alone this night, I was very scared,
I was truly shaken, knowing that they cared.
They saved my life so long on that winter night,
I was very close you see, headed to that light.

My body bleeding several ways,
My heart had nearly stopped.
My mind did travel several days,
My leg was nearly chopped.

Reminders of that accident is clearly in my mind,
On that day I prayed to him I need his grace divine.
Will you please help me now, will you spare my wife,
Spare my life, help me live, help me find my life.

Now these are but memories of times that moved too fast,
Memories here to stay, in my soul will last.
Of a fight so long ago, memories of the past,
Thinking hard, my mind did go, glad it did not last.

Love I find inside myself was my only wealth,
Thoughts of loving, in my soul, carried me to health.
As I look upon these pieces, what I really see,
Are these shards of broken glass, a life that could be me.

Beautifully written Gryphyn. Your pain truly comes across. Picking up
the pieces is never easy.

Very powerful indeed

Yes poet I do live today, I was given a second chance and as a result I
have been striving to be the man I prayed I could become ever since.
