Breathing

“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
