Vale!

Tony Bennett 1926 -2003

Oh, the good life, full of fun seems to be the ideal

Mm, the good life lets you hide all the sadness you feel

You won't really fall in love for you can't take the chance

So please be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance

It's the good life to be free and explore the unknown

Like the heartaches when you learn you must face them alone

Please remember I still want you, and in case you wonder why

Well, just wake up, kiss the good life goodbye

And here's the original....

You too

 To live 

loved and appreciated 

Is a gift

I don’t know 

If many can fully 

Comprehend 

Disability 

Has given me

Access

To the

Life lessons 

Most humans

May never 

Understand 

I see the world 

For what it is

Yet hold out

Hope 

For miracles 

That my thoughts 

Be disproven

With confident conviction 

I’m showing you 

My battles 

The physical 

Ankles and knees

And the emotional scars 

I shamefully hid

The depression 

And anxiety 

That almost 

Sunk my ship 

If I’m honest

I’m always going 

To need therapy 

Of some sort 

And I accept 

That fact

With pride

I want to live 

A life

That says

God made

It happen here

And He wants

To do 

The same 

For you

Refined

 Refined by fire

Molded and shaped

Into a creation

I can be proud of

What a thought

What I’ve despised

Is now something

I desire so much

I can’t live without

God,

Why I’ve fought Your instruction and counsel I will never understand. You’ve brought me to my knees literally. And now I truly see what I’ve been missing doing it my way.   Oh Lord, I’m so sorry. You’re taking a bum knee to rehab what really needs mending. 

My heart is undergoing a revival. I doubted you could do. Well Lord, here i am to say:  it feels good to surrender my will for Yours.
