Can I Really Do This

She's frail and weak sprawled out on the floor

Can I really do this any more

I am the one that took on the task

Hoping that with Love and family her life would last

I don't mind to work calling in

Or staying with her all weekend

But the helplessness  that I feel

Is more then which some times I can deal

Maybe better hands I should put her in

But not seeing us or feeling the  love would she still win

It may even be that I over react

But once she's gone I can't take it back

So I spend my day comforting her

Knowing that in reality there isn't a cure

So my friends I ask for just one prayer from you

This is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do

It's not like she'll recover at all

More like we are just waiting til God Gives us a call!
