Lord, he’s fighting a battle, you see as this happens,

I won’t ask why as sickness is everyday in this world.

He is scared and not feeling so well as you now know,

He will leave behind a family as I have just been told.

Ease his pain and fear as he waits for an angel to guide him,

This man is but one soul in a land of so many, he has a name.

His life needs to matter has been said, he does matter I will say!

He does matter to all whom do love him each and everyday.

He matters to you, his life has had meaning in all that he has done,

Help a brother who does carry this with him, a pain in his heart,

Be with a family at this most difficult time, once more I will say,

He does matter as his time slips away, take him with you, make him okay.
