Lament of My Life
If you analyzed my life over the years
More sadness than happiness is what appears
A lot of pain is very clear
Never been very hopeful because of all the fear
I've nursed those that were ill and helped them to heal
Sat with those that were dying making it very surreal
Reproduced for mankind but not without an ordeal
Often I had questions regarding how to feel
I've always been available to help if indeed I'm able too
Never having expectations but a simple thank-you
Often I have struggled just to pay a bill
But the struggling built up my strength and will
I have gone through a lot more than one really should
Never wanted to change my life though even if I could
I hope earth will miss my footprints that I've often left
All of the paths I have crossed make me feel truly blessed.
