Final Days (One Final Day Pt.2)

I never understood your ways But you still kept giving me A bunch of “final days” Hey, at least I can say I am no longer letting my time slip away I have found my passage way College, where I am struggling to make an A But at least I can say That I did take the time to stop and pray A lot of people said I should do it But I still would not do it Not even a bit Hey, did I tell you that the mucus is gone And I no longer have to spit It feels good to be alive That much I am willing to admit I gave up on you from time to time But you still would never quit And I appreciate that quite a bit So are there more “final days” that I am going to get I am at peace with myself For I now know That my problems were not bad I guess I was just confused And downright sad But you never lost patience with me And for that I am glad It is good to know that you were there Even when I was getting mad Because I remember blaming you For all the problems that I had If I recall I was a senior And I was anticipating my high school grad. I said goodbye to some of my comrades And showed disappointment For the ones that did not pass Speaking of disappointment I bet that is what you thought of me But I made it and I am proud No more “final days” for me

It sounds like you were suffering from cancer or some other disease for a while? This poem had a good flow about it. Andrea
