At Times…


There have been many times in my life,
When the chips have fallen to the floor,
And at those times, I really thought,
My body could take no more!

And the last time that my chips fell down,
It was almost the end of me,
Then along came a very special man,
My surgeon, who set my fears free!

At times when I almost gave up,
And when I was at the crossroads of life…
Always there was an invisible hand,
To help to ease my strife!

And though at those times I had no idea,
That help was there for me…
Of course it was, I just couldn't see it then,
I was blinded by fear you see.

But God only gives us what we can carry,
This I know is true…!
And at times when we think the end is nigh,
Something good always comes shining through.

The worst time of my entire life,
Were not the brain tumours that I had!
Contrary to what everyone thinks…
They really weren't that bad!

Scary, yes, of course they were,
But I knew they would be put right,
Go in, get fixed, get home, get well,
That's the only goal I had in my sight!

No, they weren't the worst I've had,
For this I tell you true,
Rather I'd had two more tumours…
Than the hell I recently had to live through!

For no matter what comes to pass in my life,
Nothing could be worse than that year…
The feelings, the surgeries, the worries,
But mostly, mostly the fear!

So you see, what seems worse for some,
Is certainly not as bad for me…
For nothing can ever, ever compete…
To the trauma and fear that was all I'd see!

At times when I have felt sad or feared,
I now know they were nothing to compare,
To other things I have faced in life…
The panic the traumas, the fear…

And now at times when in the future,
I feel a little down or sad…
All I will do is remember that fear…
And nothing will seem as bad!

And even when I think my life is hard,
And I feel I can't go on…
All I will do is cast my mind back…
And know, without doubt, that I won!!!

Nothing can compare to the ultimate,
I faced the ultimate and survived!

With The Help And Support...

Of Adrian, Peter And God.
