Another Day

Good Morning Sweet Jesus

It’s so good to be alive,

To feel the sun on my cheek

and the tears in my eye.

If only my illness would  

allow me time to play,

Good morning sweet Jesus,

thank you for another day.

I have this pain within me,

some time it hurts so strong,

I often wonder how a little boy

could have gone wrong.

They say I have Cancer,

a word I don’t even know,

They tell me I am dying

but I am not ready to go.

I have sand castles to build,

model airplanes to fly,

Little puppies to play with,

and fly kites in the sky.

I have places to see

and games to play,

Oh, if I could have

just one more day.

I know I am dying,

but I don’t know when,

It’s hard to understand,

when you’re only ten.

Mom and Dad, they are strong,

they hide their tears

with a smile a mile long.

I’ll try to fill all my dreams

in the time I have left,

And to love all my family

and the people I’ve met.

To cherish the morning

and the sun’s ray.

Thank You Sweet Jesus for Another Day!!!
