Dodged a bullet

How did they do it again?

I have been saved by these angels all around me

Those waiting on the edge of their seats and their souls

For me to come back around

I swear, and promise to all of you that I am constantly searching in me for that which will deem me a better man than I am

I have so much feeling

I feel and experience this world with an incredible intensity

That in my youth have not been able to control

But here, in this glorious day of gratitude and humility

I stand one step closer to being the man that I need me to be

That y'all need and want for me to be

In order to yield the sword, the pen, that will bring Owen back to me

I can hardly imagine, can hardly swallow what it may have cost anyone and everyone

To bring me back to safety again

I'm sorry. I love you

Thank you for getting me back on my feet again

I'm so close this time around. I will win. I've already won being born of such an amazingly passionate and loving family

I'm forever in everyone's debt.
