Why is it sometimes life

Does not seem fair

We do everything right

We take truths instead of dares

The ones who wrong and run a way

Escape the price to pay

And then there are others who stay and fight

Not knowing any other way

And then along comes the news

The one we can only dread

It throws emotions back and forth

It weighs and dulls our head

We really aren’t as tough you know

We can be taken down

All it takes is one wrong word

To send us to the ground

I am not on a poor me trip

I admit I have a bit of fear

Now that it is most likely I have

What my brother has had for years

So I come to you dear Lord above

I come to you and pray

Please let me finish my care for him

Let me be sick another day

For I have seen the tremors too

Going on for sometime now

I ask you Lord to hold off on me

I come to you and bow

Please let me be safe and free from harm

Give me strength to see him through

Then Lord you can take me and have my all

And do what you need to do.
