God bless you if you come to visit
Just to quietly sit and softly share
Gently being there to listen if you dare
While I stumble to explain how I feel
About wanting to be real
Feeling tearful that you care

God bless you if you still
Want to be my forever friend
When it is so hard to love me as before
And respect me unconditionally
With the heart of compassion that sees
That I am only tired, so full of fatigue

Although I may not always look ill
Sitting there, you somehow know
All that I find so difficult to share
You understand my eyes may be a-blur
And that if my speech may sometimes slur
Underneath I am, me
God bless you that your love is undeterred

Life is the journey. It isn't just the destination.
As we walk this path of life, we will struggle,
in stumbling times and not be able to be as before.
I thank God for the hand that reaches down to hold us up,
perhaps a friends hand, perhaps the hand of God.
But always there is hope,
and as long as there is a single breath left,
there is everlasting love, we need not fear
this I have come to know..
