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?
