accidents.

it takes an accident
to help us regret our recklessness.
it takes a near-accident
to help us appreciate God's mercy.

was in a traffic frenzy ytd,
trying to ferry pple here and there.
rushing and weaving didn't use to pose any problems,
but ytd, i had a few near-death experience within hours.

but i thank God that i'm still alive now,
and i thank God for helping me cope wif complacency.
i might be careful and good at gauging distances,
but that doesn't mean others around me will be..

for the first time,
i meant my prayer.
"may the Lord grant us journey mercies,
as we depart from dis place."
