God helps those who help themselves. Love doesn't conquer all but it certainly goes a long way.
Twelve Steps (with love, for Barbara) By Franklin Price 04/13/2020 Twelve steps away you're sleeping In our giant king sized bed I pray you're resting peacefully As these thoughts go through my head If I could, I'd take your pain Give you a decent appetite Go through chemo for you Give you sleep throughout the night Give you energy to garden Enjoy where the rays are from Put the earth between your fingers Return the greenness to your thumb Give you joy again for reading Strength for shopping at the mall To enjoy the flowers in the Spring And changing leaves, when comes the fall It's not within my power To give all these things to you To pray for and to love you Is the most that I can do To hold you and to stand by you To place faith in God above No matter how this whole thing goes Never doubt you have my love
