Thankful For This Life
There has been a time in my life of deep and great despair,
and I am grateful for all the helping hands;
because of people who cared this girl stands,
stands here strong, serene and at peace with a gratitude tear.
Even for a life threatening deathly event I am deeply beholden,
for as I stood at the gate of Heaven weeping;
my heart and soul the Lord was safe keeping,
pleased, I opened eyes to a new day and a bright sun golden.
I will never forget a day I was feeling pretty sorry for my situation,
then, I saw a woman with no legs and no arms;
but her smile and her laugh were her charms,
so humbled, I let go of torment and that has been my salvation.
