Tragic times led to amazing blessings as I held tight onto Christ!

Cure

Life sure can get complex,

if you just let it so.

With every wilting flower,

a healthy one will grow.

It started out so simple

just one pill led to two;

but with age seizures angered

and I didn't know what to do.

They changed so fiercely overnight,

I dared not tell a soul.

I just played pretend they didn't exist;

prayed I wouldn't pay a toll.

Then, with a gift from God came happiness,

everything felt just right!

Then came a twist, a jab, of hopelessness!

It's now hard to sleep at night.

For what was managed then, grew and grew.

Not one in that town could believe -

that the dilemmas with me are for real, are true.

So with all of that - my child and I had to leave.

What may have seemed atrocious

what may have seemed unjust;

all happened for a purpose

this happened, now I must

I must be honest

I must be well

I must be focused

Dear God I'll tell . . .

I'll tell You how shocking life can be!

I'll tell you I'm tired, no energy!

Seizures aren't controlled by medication for me;

They're controlled by the faith in our Lord, I NOW see!

Faith in Christ is the actual cure;

even when I must take pills.

Cause with all my problems and issues I endure;

with His love there's no trial, mountain, no hills!

So I praise Him today with all my heart,

my heart has so much to give!

Without Him I'm not sure where I'd be

He's shown me all more reason to live!
