21 may 2020.

it’s days like this one

that make me fear the word

”almost”.

because on this day,

he almost died.

almost.

it’s the point where

things could go one of two ways:

they could fall apart

or

they could fall together.

this time,

almost teetered on the edge

of everything falling apart.

when i found out,

i thanked whatver higher power

there may be

for letting him stay.

there’s something very sobering

about experiencing an almost.

it’s a reminder

that life works in

mysterious ways.

in a single instant,

we could lose the most important

things in our lives.

in a single moment,

we could achieve everything

we’ve worked for.

almost is the moment

right before either outcome.

it’s the moment where

everything could change.

almost is the reminder

to take a moment

and be grateful for everything

we have in our lives.

you never know when things could change.
