Is life worth living?
Ask the young man with Lou
Gehrig's disease who clings to life
With a tenacious will.
Ask the young woman with
Stage four breast cancer
Throwing up in a bed pan
After her chemotherapy.
Ask the sixty something man
Waiting for a liver transplant.
Ask the weeping mother as she
Holds her newborn baby with a
Defective heart that has a 20%
Chance of living.
Ask the combat veteran whose
Legs, arms, and eyes were blown
Away by a landmine.
Ask them, then ask me.
I understand life is very painful for them all.....next to impossible....so those who have the privilege to live well should make it a blessing
