Not Giving Up
My eyes opened in the middle of the night
Waves of pain shooting through my left and right
Partly paralysed I sit up and breath and move
And I stand with great effort in the room.
The left foot then the other as hard as I can
And I feel like laying down again
But something inside of me pushes me just then
and I slowly make it to my chair in the den.
So begins another day in my life
I grab my keyboard and I start typeing
These words you are reading just now
The stiffness in my fingers doesn't slow me down.
No one can see by the expresson on my face
The pain I endure each hour with grace
But my wife sees my suffering indeed
As she hands me a cup of coffee.
Why do I continue working this way
When I could give up and make the State pay
For my food and my medicine? No Way!
I supported myself since I was twelve I say.
The quickening of His spirit with might
fills me with Power, Love and Light
So no matter what happens to me
I will continue to work, live and believe.
I can't leave out that it is you
That makes each day easier to do.
So if you are a silent sufferer like me
I understand, you can lean on me.
"To he that is given much, much is required"
The Christ
