I wrote this during the weeks my son’s father was in hospital. It’s a piece from a time when everything felt fragile. This was also many decades ago.
Your life has been a challenge,
and still the battle goes on
Think of yourself as a warrior
and that the fight has almost won
Remember you’ve got an army
of people on your side
Who are aways there for you
in whom you can confide
You have a wonderful family
watch them learn and grow
He’ll help you through your sad times
Give you a cuddle when you’re low
So when you’re feelings all’s too much
and there seems no end in sight
Remember you are dearly loved
and carry on the fight
Your struggle is almost over now,
Just one more hurdle to leap
And then your life will be back on track
and wisdom yours to keep
This lesson is a hard one
but when it’s over now
Just one more hurdle to leap
and then your life will be back on track
And your wisdom yours to keep
This lesson is a hard one
but when it’s over you will smile
You’ll discover what it’s taught you
then rest up for a while.
Life will always bring lessons,
some tougher than the rest
But you’ll look back in your old age
and know you’ve done your best
So please don’t give up at this late stage
though it seems too much to bear
Remember that we love you
and you’re almost there…
