When I see the deep belief and faith that some people have, which helps them get through the most devastating experiences.
That is when I wish I had that depth of faith too.

IS IT TRUE
Is it true he died for me
that man upon the cross
Is it true he'll search for me
each time that I am lost
Can he really hear each prayer
that's whispered in the night
Can he see the thoughts I have
good or bad, wrong or right
Sometimes I feel a presence that
brings peace and comforts me
It's then I hope it's really true
and he is looking after me.

LIFE CHANGES
If I was given the chance to
change and relive my life
Would I take it?
If it meant I could avoid
the mistakes I made
I might take it
However if it meant I'd lose
all my happy memories
I'd not take it
So I guess I'll go on living
exactly as before
Not changing anything and
not expecting more
But it's something I won't worry
about because you see
When I think things over I am
happy simply being me.
WHEELCHAIR REFLECTIONS
My life changed in an instant leaving
me not knowing why or how
I'd manage all the things I've always
taken for granted until now
I'm finding it impossible to do them
without aid or assistance
All because of one simple movement
that happened purely by chance
So even though my normal life may
be restricted for a little while
Many people don't have that luck and
for them it's a permanent lifestyle
So I certainly do have something
to be grateful for at least
And with that thought in mind I'll sit
here relaxed and be at peace.

Chance Meeting
​
Sometimes in life you meet
somebody purely by chance
As the years pass by you realise
how your life has been enhanced
By that accidental meeting although
your life styles are poles apart
Because that day you found a friend
who now has a place within your heart.
