The fire of life, is dimming too low,
but it's not your time, your not ready to go;
We all have our problems be they minor or not,
happiness in this place just cannot be bought.
Suicide is the most selfish act you can do,
leaving those behind who truly love You;
The heartache, the sorrow, the pointing of fingers,
how could we have helped, the memory lingers.
Release all your troubles, live for the day,
God is the answer, get on your knees and pray;
Pray to be relieved of the burdens you bear,
God always listens when you send up a prayer.
Have faith in His justice, His mercy, His Love,
He listens to you as He sits up above;
sometimes the answers don't come in a day or two,
Have Faith in the Lord, and wishes can come true.
Realize you have no power over anything but your own life,
take steps to correct things, just forget the strife;
those who walk into your life, do so for a reason,
be it for a lifetime, or just for a season.
Accept all the hardships, face them head on,
for if you do that, you will become strong;
in faith and in wisdom, well beyond your years,
So dry up those eyes, quit shedding those tears.
I know from experience, I have faced this before,
for I am an Alcoholic, now life I adore.
Author notes
Hi, I'm Scott and I'm an Alcoholic / Addict. I thought, once, for a split second about suicide, but I'm too much of a chicken shit for that. I went to AA instead, I Love life now and everything about it, even the bad times can be turned to advantage if we but let God's will work in our lives.
