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.
