thank you Jesus

this morning
it felt like
together,
we might actually
win
this fucked up game
called life.

that together
we could escape
the endless cycle
of depression and sadness,
the poverty and abuse
that comes with years
of hopeless futures
and dead end streets.

that together
our love
could escape
even death.

and to think
we almost let this
miracle
slip away;

thank you
Jesus
for not letting
it happen.
