Has death ever knocked at your door
And you said stay a way come no more
Did you refuse to give up the fight
And instead give it all and hang on tight
Did you see the light and heaven’s doors
Did you see the angels come into sight
Did you see your life flash before your eyes
Did you close your lids and wonder why
Did you plead with God for one more chance
To get up and walk and have one last dance
Did he hear you and say I will pass you by
I will let you live and not let you die
Did you get down on your knees and pray
And thank God for that grateful day
When you were allowed just one more chance
To hold life dear and not just glance.

When I was giving birth, I almost couldn’t breath and a lot of flashbacks. For the first time, I asked the Lord to give me more time.

I understand, giving birth is hard in the beginning. Being a new mommy , lots of responsibilities, I can understand the flashbacks! You came through it though and are a wonderful Mom
