Thrown out the window
of a speeding car,
Strangers found me
by the roadside.
Listened to my silence
Until I found my voice.
Held me in their arms
Until I was able to stand.
Carried me
Until I began to walk.
Gave me a name
Until I could remember my own.
Prayed for me
When I was without a prayer
Except please
Let me die today,
Let this terror end.
To the people who cherish me,
To the mystery that sustains me,
I am here today
because of you.
I owe my life to you.
Thank you
