My life was well
Gifts flowed freely
There were ups and downs
But things were easy

Work was good
Though sometimes taxing
Took most of my time
From morn till evening

Yet I went through it
Day in and day out
Resigned to the humdrum
Of everyday life

Exhausted and spent
At the end of the day
Comforted by the pay
That I gained

And then you came
Without a warning
A surprise, unpleasant
Plunged in, not knocking

I said, “How could you come
At this perfect time
When career’s at the peak
Now it’s at stake.”

You vanquished everyone
And everything
A big monster you seemed
Meant to destroy my dreams


Then I chose to face you
With courage and faith
With one I needed action
With the other I found strength

With open arms
of total surrender
I was lead and I obeyed
Then things and events
Slowly fell into place

With this new vision
Now I see clearly
Things happen for me
Never against me.

Now I am healed
Now I am free
Surrender to win
That’s how it should be.
