God kept me alive

So many times
the latest the New Year
a near fatal disaster,
God kept me alive
for some reason, a purpose,
known only to Him.
 
I cannot understand
I can’t wrap my head around it
still processing, instilling,
this gravity, this moment,
when I should have died,
but God kept me alive…
