Let's Talk About How I Walk

When you say " God bless me"
I think to myself " did somebody sneeze "
I mean what else could it be about
Oh, I know the real reason and it makes me want to shout
So you want to pray 
To me that's fine,totally okay
But when it has to do with the way I walk 
This is when I need to talk
There is nothing wrong
with what I use to move along
I may move at a slower pace
But just because I do it with a smile on my face
That doesn't make me strong or brave
I'm just trying to live life before I hit the grave
With your prayer you're trying to "cure" me
Without taking into account it's part of my identity

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
