New Life

I lay helpless, watching the snow slowly melt, numbing my cold frozen hands

Wind howling in my ear, I tell myself this is it

Not even enough energy to make a snow angel

As days pass, I send off my last prayer,

Only to wake up in a field of flowers

I look around, confused

To find my old dogs run over and lick my face

My grandmother holds my hand, whispering all is OK now

This is my new life

Don't take yours for granted
