Yep, I did, I got to thinking tonight!
And what I thought was…well;
How can I complain about my trials!
And moan about this life of hell!
So then I got to thinking a bit more;
And decided really, I'm blessed;
I guess that's the only way to think,
And remind myself, it's just another test.
So ok, this is a big one; yep,
And the unknown is a scary place to be;
So I need to get my head on straight,
And find the fighter once more; in me!
I figure this, cos I was crying…
While my mum was on the phone;
I told her I'm scared of the problem in hand,
But I'm lucky, cos I'm never alone.
It seems I'm the 1 in a thousand;
That this happens to, oh woe is me!
I sure the heck am a lucky lass!
And now fear surrounds and smothers me!
Then mum said something to me tonight;
‘Have you ever really thought?
That 'you' are the 1 in a thousand;
Who survived all 'you' have fought!
And that 'is' the 1 in the thousand;
Because you lived when others may die!'
And I thought real hard about that;
And at that point, I didn't cry!
How can I be alone when I have such love!
In abundance all around me!
So you see, I am so very lucky;
That support is all that I see!
And I came to a conclusion before;
Cos I have to tell it true and say;
I told my God I'd had enough!
And wouldn't chat to Him one more day!
But of course, I won't turn away!
Because I'm not a defeatist you see!
Nope, I am a fighter, through and through,
And I won't stay down long; no, not me!!
The fear in me now; is very strong,
I have cried many tears this night,
Because I didn't know where to turn!
And I'd had an awful fright.
Then I decided on the positive side;
And decided on what I would do!
If they give me the news that we think;
Then they can take the lot of it too!
I won't have any left behind, no way!
No gremlins will live inside me!
They can take it all away for all I care!
As long as a longer life I will see!
So I had a word with God again…
And said I am sorry to Him,
It's just I had an awful fright,
But without Him, I just can't win!
He is the one that gives me strength!
He is the one who is most true!
He is the one whom I can rely!
He is the only one who can pull me through…
…Because He is the most precious of all…
‘So here and right now I say to thee;
Please my Dear God, hear my cry;
Let me get through this and keep me strong,
Because I do not want to die!
And let them take the bad away;
No matter what the bad that's there!
Just let it all be okay for me,
Cos just now, I feel life isn't fair.
But then what is fair and not?
I guess we don't really know at all!
And at the end of the day, we all have to die;
I'm not ready just yet, so please don't call!!
Let me live this happy life I have found,
And please let me stay with him and not go!
Because without me, I know he would give in,
Trust me he will, because I know!
It's taken 50 whole years for me;
For happiness to come into my life,
For all I had for all those years,
Was a hellish; unmerciful life of strife!
And now that the past is all behind me,
This was going to be my new start!
I want it so, I need it so…
So I am asking you from my heart;
Dear Lord above please; hear me!
Don't take me away from this life,
Not just yet, but a lot later on,
Cos I don't really mind all the strife!
You see, I can't stand the thought of me leaving;
My Rich who I love and adore;
He needs my love and happiness!
Isn't that what you brought us together for?
I think it is you know, Dear God,
Because you saw in us; the unhappy soul,
And I believe in my heart of hearts;
You made us as one, to be united and whole.
His half was so miserable and sad;
My half was very much the same,
We were lost in a fog so thick and dense,
We both have had more than our share of pain.
So please Dear Lord, please hear my plea,
Can you make this nasty please go away;
And give us the chance of a life together,
Don't let me go, but let me stay.
