A MINUTE FROM HEAVEN    


         I live a life that seems more than half way done,


         Started at a beginning, seen more than sun to sun.


           I've walked this land and had my share of pain,


      Friends whom have come and gone, love them just the same.


                          
              A  family through struggles and laughter, 


     Children grow up so fast, will they only remember my name.?


      I had my share of good, other things I've paid the price,


       All I ask of you dear lord is that you consider my fight.


           A minute from heaven is what we have each day,


 Step by step when the time has come, would you kindly show me the way.
