The Immortal Spirit

Some people never suffer illness

Some people never get disease,

Some people sail through life with nothing

While some are brought down to their knees.

Why do some of us feel such pain?

And seem to pay a heavy price,

To eat the fruits of Adams Eden,

And walk the path first trod by Christ.

Should all of us not suffer sometimes

In total darkness without light,

Just to see what makes us carry on

To stand firm then learn to fight.

The spark of life that is in mankind

Has a slowly burning fuse,

What are the reasons why we fight for life

Why do we just refuse to lose?.

For some it’s fear of failure

For some the fear of the unknown,

For some it’s fear of dying

For others the fear of being alone.

So when things are at their very worst

And your suffering with ill health,

When no-ones there to hold your hand

And you only have yourself.

Turn to your precious spirit

Turn to your sacred soul,

Search for the inner strength you have

To help you reach your goal.

Through thick and thin, through good and bad

Your life do not forsake,

Bear everything that’s thrown at you,

For god won’t give what you can’t take !.
