"Guardian Angel"

" This happened a few years ago..

I was on my way home from school, and all I had to do, was to cross this one road.. so I waited for the traffic light to turn green and then I started to walk.-  I remember I was "in my own little world".. so I didn't pay much attention to the cars beside me..

I remember I walked faster than the other people.. and then I saw it..

It was a red sports car.. which was driving really fast. - and it was driving while the traffic light was red, which means, it was driving really fast, towards me.

I was wearing this school bag, and when I saw the car, my whole world went into some kind of slow motion movie.
- and then it happened... it was like someone were holding my bag from behind, so that I got held back from the car too, just in time.
but when I turned around to thank the person, no one was there.

I was shocked. Because I even remember seeing the man behind the car window - thats how close I was to that freaking car!
- and if I hadn't got held back in time, I would have been run over by that car!

So that's how I know, that something... someone actually, is watching over us
- and that is what makes me feel safe in this world - because I know now that Im being taken care of - we all are."
