The rain is pouring out of my soul The roaring thunder left me cold The blaring lightening is indeed bold A sad story of a lady behold! O Lord of the magnificent world Please give us thy blessing tenfold

Thy Blessing
There was once a normal girl With normal friends in a normal school This little girl was happy as can be Knowing not that her fate was cruel She found a lump on her collar bone Smiled, oblivious, as a stone, Doctor said: "Emergency!" "Oh well," thought she, "How bad can it be?" For all her life she'd known no harm Sweet as chocolate, in a happy farm Young and laying in mother's arm Innocent. But this little girl was smart. And laying in a hospital bed with her eyes all red and a lump in her throat and a lump in her neck She prayed to God - no thanked him! - For this wasn't Aids! or Cancer! ...Thought she... it couldn't, was it? After lots of needles and many a test, This little girl was allowed to rest Until doctor came in with her mum and her dad And an expression as emotionless as it can get He led her to a new ward with walls painted bright And told her everything was going to be allright - still with the emotionless expression on his face But with as much gentleness as he could fake. Cancer. Crying. Bald, and Ache. Eye of toad and tongue of snake Doctors, nurses. Sleep and wake. Salt on wound. Poison (Chemo) Shake. But that story's old now No one likes it anymore 5 years later I lay here a shadow on the floor And now's when I should thank him, Now that "It's all gone" But I guess one thank you is enough for god's ironic plans. Here lays another normal girl With normal friends in a normal school Not even close to happy is she For no one understands.
