“BREATHING“
If only I had one wish, I know what it would surely be;
That I could breath like I did when I was seventeen
We don’t appreciate what we have, until things go wrong
I know I didn’t, till my breathing was almost gone
I smoked those cigarettes like there was no tomorrow;
Now I live with the consequence and all the sorrow
Those cigarettes I didn’t think I could live without.
If I only knew what they were all about
Now I need oxygen both day and night,
and have these breathing spells that are such a fright
I see my friends that are so healthy and strong.
But my health has been bad so very long .
I get so depressed sometimes, I don’t know what to do.
I just want to get out of this chair and be able to do things
just like you
I just take it day by day,
the Only thing I can do with my breathing this way.
I talk to the good LORD from time to time,
to tell him just what’s on my mind
I ask him to please not let me suffer and forgive me for all my sins
To please take me to heaven when my life ends
