Give us this day .....

[Cookster99]

Give me this day the strength to find, the person that I left behind,

I play my game of hide and seek, behind the pain I take a peek,

My body lies upon my bed, wrecked and sore, the fear, the dread

But through it all I know I'll find, that person that I left behind.

I close my eyes and drift away, dreaming of that perfect day,

When I awake that day to find my fears and pain all left behind,

Left in the dark where once I dwelt, The fear of dying that I felt.

Where I would kneel each night and pray, dear God, don't let me die this way.

I look down on anaemic skin, bruises coming from within,

Eyes red raw and vision poor, every nerve and muscle sore.

But this is my armada now, and to this fight I shall not bow.

No quarter shall this lady give, I want a life, I want to live.

Love Cookie xxx
