Hope's Lifeline

My heart sped up a few beats
Found out you had cancer now for about twelve weeks
Heart torn by pain, futures ruptured by reality
Hurt like hell, but I wouldn’t let it get the best of me
And ‘it’s so amazing’ were the lyrics jamming on the radio
The future is not promised, but who is really to say so
Bonds stronger and nights longer
Pain surging through your body
Had death become hunger
At least not for you, because you were strong
Real strong
As you lost your hair, you also lost your fears
Loving your family more than ever as you kept us near
Saying everything would be alright as you wept a tear
A tear of joy, a smile of jubilance
That same beautiful smile that I been seeing every day since
Day by day, the beast would be gone
Day by day, you were more than happy to be home
Home with the family because we all know where the heart is
Metaphorically, deep down inside, where all the true passion lives
Pain turned to gain as you regained your health
Lack of blood turned into lots of blood when you witnessed your wealth
A second chance was granted and that second chance was taken
For God blessed you and that is not to be forsaken
My prayers were heard, all I could do was be thankful
Thank you for keeping her here with me
The once and always lady of my heart
That beautiful woman who originally gave me my start
That beautiful woman who originally gave me my start
Yeah, I’m talking about that once and always lady of my heart
7 years later
I love you, Mom
Merry Christmas 08
