Precious

by

Heidi Yang

Whether you've had a seizure

Considered taking your own life

Or had a loved one die

You realize how precious life is,

Despite these things, the world goes on as before

Life returns to normal

People stop coming

Stop asking if you're okay

Stop bringing the casseroles

They seem to stop caring,

Suddenly life becomes precious

Gratefulness applies to everything

Friends are worth more than gold

You realize that life is not just wonderful, surprising, terrible, or depressing

but simply

Precious.
