Rough Times

My husband left this life last year Just two and a half months later My sweet brother passed away My best friend's husband also died My son-in-law left my daughter I lost my job without just cause Two disks in my back folded Two contractors ripped me off My oldest brother went to jail My sister was arrested, as well My favorite brother was fired From his job for working too much I found a guy who told me lies So I left him for another Now, he's unable to say those things That I am really needing to hear My step-grandaughter had to go Home to live with her mother My daughter has taken a driving job I will be alone for the first time ever Now as this year winds to a close These eighteen months that I've survived Were harder than any other That I have ever had to endure Thought I couldn't make it Thought I just might die Felt so heartbroken I cried and cried Looking back, I now can see The strength it took to make it Thank you Lord for being there And for helping me to take it
