Speak, Hear and Medically Well

As I look out upon this new year
my wishes and hopes are threefold
looking up to God to smile down here
His providential care to ever hold

To be more in control of my speaking
putting my stammer behind me to be better
learning to cope with stress and nerves
slow down speak softly sentence and letter

Even being partially deaf holds one back
you miss out on hearing on whats said
wax collects in the ear blocking off not to hear
no more silence around me just to hear instead

My PSA has been reasonably very good
six monthly tests mostly been little above zero
praying these PC results to stay right here
praise God for Jesus touch keep me clearo

These are my goals for this 2019
looking up high to my Lord and king
my life is in His mighty hands totally
all my prayers to Jesus do I bring
