I AM HERE
While I am here,
Here I am.
And fear has passed
And life is calm.
Perhaps a taste or sound is nice,
Perhaps a little glimpse of life.
Or if I don’t perceive a thing
That’s still ok.
Some people go in sudden fall.
Some people fade as night to dawn.
But I am here.
If I could see
I would be glad that I am me.
I’d take back all the fears I held;
For if I’d seen the love and care
That’s lavished on me
I’d be changed.
From each and every one in their own way
A love is shown.
Though all exteriorly is lost,
I never knew such strength and kindness would emerge
To watch oer me till life is done.
I pray in thanks for all the staff
Who care for me each day.
I pray with pride for my family.
If I could see and speak
Imagine what I’d say!
In love and thanks
All fears are wiped away.
While life is here
Here I am.
And when the time is right I will pass on.
No day too late too soon,
Each day is as it is.
There is a reason why
This time is.
I pray your pain is eased
As mine has been.
As life is calm
And as it’s meant to be.
For love is strong in all who walk around me here.
I could not ask for more than’s been giv’n me.
