The Lump

Come on you old devil, take your best shot! You're kidding! That's it? Is that all you got? I know where I'M goin', He's saved me a spot I'll warn you once more in case you forgot You're messing with one of God's children I'm CHOSEN, you see and that is my role You WILL NOT BEAT ME if that is your goal! You may hurt my body but can't touch my soul Go back and gnaw in your fiery red hole! You're messing with one of God's children I'm STRONG from the trials that I have been through The fears and the tears and paying what's due I've felt His wrath and His grace and love too I've seen much tougher than the likes of you You're messing with one of God's children Go bug someone else you think you might scare! Someday I'll sit back in my rocking chair With those who I love, laughing at despair If not that's okay, I'm in my Lord's care You're messing with one of God's children *Written in 2008 for my daughter just before her mastectomy which eventually turned into a double. Still with us to this day!!
