WHAT WE CAN DO IN A DAY IF WE HAVE OUR HEALTH

MY DEAREST LORD

I FEEL LIKE THIS A HUNDRED TIMES A DAY

 IT DRIVES ME CRZY

   

 BUT SHAME ON ME

YOU HAVE PROVIDED ME WITH 64 YEARS OF WHAT I WANT TO DO.

  JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO ,

I COULD HAVE DRIVEN TO THE POTOMAC BEAD COMPANY  

AND ENTERED A CONTEST

AND MADE A PIECE OF JEWLERY

WHAT DOES THIS TELL ME

 THAT  I HAVE BEEN GIVEN JUST ENOUGH 

AND

MY NEW JOURNEY WILL BE ENOUGH

IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT I HAD NOT GIVEN ENOUGH

 MY HEART WANTED TO LEAP WITH MY GRAND DAUGHTERS

SOPHIE AND ANNIE

 I WANT TO BE THERE FOR THEIR SUCCESS AND FAILURES

I WANT TO GO ON VACTION 

WITH ALL MY SONS

AND STACY AND SOPHIE AND ANNIE,

PLEASE LET ME LORD

  I THANK YOU FOR A PLACE TO LIVE

AND A NEW CAR

  

 EVEN IF ONLY FOR A GLIMPSE OF TIME

 I HAD SO MANY SET BACKS

 SCHOOL, MARRIAGE, SMALL JOBS

BUT I HAD THE BEST GIFT IF ALL, 

I GOT TO STAY HOME WITH MY SONS, 

FOR THEIR YOUNG LIVES

I WILL NEVER FORGET TAKING THEM TO 

OR THREE DIFFERENT  GAMES OR PRACTICES

 AND WATCH EVERYONE.,

PRACTICE OR GAMES 

IT WAS MY SON'S UP THERE GIVING THEIR ALL

AND GOOD OLE MOM WAS THERE.

I GOT MORE GRASS STAIN OUT OF UNIFORMS

I GOT TO WATCH MY SON'S

SIT UP, 

TAKE THEIR FIRST STEP 

AND 

SAY THERE FIRST WORD

WHAT A GIFT LORD

I THANK YOU LORD 

FOR A LIFE FILLED WITH LOVE

 NO MATTER WHERE YOU LED ME  I SAW LOVE

 IT WAS MY INTENTIONAL LOVE

BECAUSE A LOT DID NOT DESERVER

 MY LOVE AND CARE

  

 EVEN THOSE WHO STOLE FROM ME 

 I DID NOT PUNISH AND FORGAVE 

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW HOW

  I GUESS YOU SAID TURN THE OTHER CHEEK

 THANK YOU LORD FOR RELIEVING ME OF ALL THE HATE IN MY LIFE

AND GIVEN ME

LOVE

THIS IS A TERRIBLE DISEASE

   

HELP ME TO HANDLE IT WITH GRACE

 WHICH ISN'T INDICATIVE OF TONIGHT

 THIS HAS BEEN A REAL TEAR JERKER FOR ME. 

 TO GOD'S LOVE
