The Happy Accident

The day back then was not easy

Had its fill of mishaps and difficulty

Everything seemed unbearable but soon all paled 

Her car collided with a truck when her brakes failed

Accidents she expect to happen but she never knew

People so caring and the skies so blue

Professional life blinded her from the earth to the skies

You would never expect such pain could open her eyes

And now fully recovered from her broken limbs

Court business starts with prayers and occasionally hymns

Compassion moved in and kicked dispassion out

Invited certainty and closed the doors to doubt

Driving into the truck was not a tragedy

Even though she required serious surgery

Now by a renewal through her spiritual birth

That accident made her the happiest judge on earth
