"CHRONIC PLEA"
AS I AWAKE TO A "BRAND NEW" DAY,
"ATTEMPTING" TO RISE, I TAKE A MINUTE TO PRAY.
"OH LORD", GIVE ME "STRENGHTH" TO ACCEPT HOW I FEEL,
THE "COURAGE" TO "COPE", WITH THIS PAIN THAT WON'T HEAL.
I FEEL SO "DISCOURAGED"!, "LIFE'S" PASSING ME BY!
I'M TOLD TO "ADAPT",,,IT HURTS! BUT I TRY.
IS THIS "WEAKNESS" I'M FEELING, CONTROLLED BY MY "PAIN"?
WILL I EVER FEEL "NORMAL"?...FEELING STRONG ONCE AGAIN?!
"TWO" QUESTIONS WE ASK OF OUR DOCTORS EACH DAY,
REMAINING "UNANSWERED", THEY REALLY CAN'T SAY.
"LORD" HELP ME CHALLENGE ANOTHER LONG DAY,
WITH MY "FAITH" IN YOUR "GUIDEANCE",,,,,,,,YOU'LL LEAD ME THE WAY.
I CHERISH THE "MEMORIES", LIVING "LIFE" AS SHOULD BE,
"GOOD HEALTH", A "GOOD JOB", WAKING MORNINGS "PAINFREE".
MAYBE I'M "SELFISH" FOR "WANTING" THEM BACK!
I'M TIRED OF "HURTING"!!, WILL THIS PAIN EVER SLACK?!
ONE DAY AT A TIME, IS ALL I CAN ASK,
BUT "COPING'S" SO "HARD"! SHOULD IT BE SUCH A "TASK?!!
NOW,"LORD", I'M NOT "DOUBTING", THAT YOU'LL SEE ME THROUGH!
MY "BELIEF" IN YOUR "POWERS", WHY I'M TALKING TO "YOU"!
"PLEASE GRANT ME THE COURAGE" TO ENTER THIS DAY,
WITH A "POSSITIVE" OUTLOOK.....THAT I'LL MAKE IT OKAY.
SO, AS I LAY ME DOWN TO REST,
I THANK YOU "LORD",,,,,FOR I DONE "MY BEST"
AMEN..
CAROLYN LOVE
