Remembering Life Past

Thinking back over my every breath
so many taken through all the years
couldn't count them they're so many
mixed up amongst joys and fears

Looking back now from the dead
having lived and loved so dear
my special loves Jean and Christine
were truly great kept me in gear

My adopted parents showed direction
to be honest truthful and good
allowing me to be free but in line
meeting all my need as well as food!

But to my God is my truest love
showing perfect love to me alone
sending His son Jesus to earth
for my sins He did perfectly atone

God was my constant help and hope
despite my stammer enabled me to cope
giving me joy within by His presence
so now to heaven I've gone to elope
