This Life Of Mine...


This life of mine is oh, so hard,
And tough to get through each day,
But I do it, with the help of God,
And for that, I give thanks when I pray!
For life is fragile for everyone,
But for people vulnerable like me,
Well, let's face it; I'm on borrowed time,
But my life's so precious you see!

Its not that I'm afraid of dying,
Because truly, I'm really not,
But at the moment, my daughter needs me,
So I pray for me, for her, for my lot.
For though my complaints are many,
Sadly, my daughters are more,
So ill is she, it hurts the heart of me,
So I ask God to close that door!

To delay walking into the light, to Him,
Close the door that's there for me,
Just so she can have my love and support,
For she relies on God, her hub, my Rich and me!
So as my prayers are Heaven sent,
I always ask for her, not for me,
To give me as much time as she needs me for,
For she really wouldn't cope you see!

I guess we all need our mothers,
When things go wrong as they will,
But trust me, this daughter that I love,
Is struggling on the most steepest hill!
She tells me all the time, not to die,
That she needs me here for her so much,
And though my health is in a very bad way,
It seems I am still her crutch.

And so she prays for me, I pray for her,
As we trust in Christ, our Lord above,
And send those prayers Heavenwards,
Filled with so much belief and love!
And if He can, I know He will,
But it depends on His will be done,
Meanwhile we do our very best for Him,
As we daily struggle on and on...

...And pray...
