When I wake up to a new day
I first raise my head upwards
To send out a special prayer
To thank the Lord for keeping
Me alive for one more day
Never mind the morphine and
Its slow effect on my pain
At least I have another chance
To smile at the loving angels
And thank them for all that
They do to make me feel
Wanted and not the burden
That I truly am to all of them
With my regular stifled cries
Of pain and my fear of death
They carry the message of love
Something that I have never ever
Experienced in my days at home
May God bless these wonderful
Sisters and shower His love and
Special blessings on them always
