Someone once told me

God himself picked you specially

Then I had to ask myself

If so did he

There was a reason

I questioned his heart

I lied so close to death more than once

My husband never left me

Nor my children

God held their hands

He watched over me

I am still here

When he took my Brother instead of me

My heart was ripped out

I cried out why not me

He watched over me

I grew tired and wanted to go

He told me no

It’s not time for you to go

Instead he sent Angels to my bed

My Father and my Brother

They told me

Others needed me

I beg them not to leave me

My Father whispered

You are my strength

They both kissed me

Then faded away

God gave me peace

I gained back my strength

Though the Cancer was still inside of me

God touched me once more

He brings me remission

I fought to stand on my feet

I walked again in his light

Fearing no evil

My promise to my Brother

In his death

Gave to me another day

God he was watching over me

For

My Mother needs me

My Brothers children need me

For

God also took their Mother

Instead of me

I began to write again

The inspiration of God himself and his deeds

Flourished in my heart

I was thankful

Then the Cancer spread

This time the surgery takes my sight

I was angry

Yet determined

Not to fail those in worry

I fought with all my might

God watched over me

Again he gave me remission

Though he left me almost totally blind

Again I stood on my feet

I walked in the shadow of the Angel’s

Who watch over me beside God himself?

Today I have learned to take nothing for granted

To cherish each and every breath given me

For

I walk in the light of the shadows of death

God watching over me

I give not only my heart to thee

I live to write

Instilled inside of me Gods inspiration

Those I have chosen my friends

I will take their memories with me

When God comes forth for me
