We were sick and now we are well
Countless stories we all could tell
Something happened along the way
It seemed an affliction came to stay
 

We tried and tried and could not break through
Even the doctors had not a clue
How to treat and what to give
To guarantee that we would live
 

And get beyond the current stress
To find again our peace and rest
Their diagnosis and their charts
The consultations and medicine carts
 

All seemed stymied or at least off the mark
While the condition entrenched and appeared to park
With desperation and a sense of despair
We found ourselves uttering a prayer
 

For powers beyond but somehow right there
In the place of our heartache and in our blank stare
A change took place and a joyful discovery
We found ourselves with a marvelous recovery
