Thankful for one more day

My fingers slip

Losing more grip

losing sight of what is right

losing all my will to fight

No one around believes my cry

They do not reach to pull me up 

Instead they stand and ask why?

Kind words so easy to say, jolly you along for another day

Ease their mind that all is right

While i sit and lose more fight

Action is what i need,, real support, real deeds

I am just about to let go, finger nails now my only grip

I close my eyes and ask for help

I see you face,  feel your grace

Your gentle voice tells me "dont let go"

Tears fall now down my face

I hang my head , ask for peace

 strength to carry on 

To know my destiny here is not yet done

I grab and pull with all my mite

You gave me courage to continue the fight

Clawing and grabing at all i can that lonely night

So heavy, difficult and slow

Little by little at a time

Sitting on the ledge now I hear the church bell chime

A sunset before me now i see, golden and beautiful as can be

No voice now heard just a feeling deep inside

That all will be alright

I must help myself, i must lead my way

To change things must start with me

Little by little, step by step, I know i can

I place my hands now over my heart

Lower my head and say your name

I give thanks for one more day

From deep in my soul I now pray

To know your love will never leave me

If i believe, you will lead me

I must now take a long hard look

At all the blame I lay at others feet

The hurt i felt, led to harm

I must stand now , face my plight

Play my part

Fight my fight

Make my choice

Face what is true

I am grateful for this chance

Grateful I have found you

The truth shall set me free.
