I'm afraid to sleep at night, thinking I might die,
Fast and slow heart rates just part of the reason why.
Since having this pneumonia has really set me back,
What is coming next, a massive heart attack?
My heart actually will stop up to 4 beats in a row,
Daytime fast heart rate, at night very slow.
Low blood pressure is another of an issue,
I am so perplexed, not knowing what to do.
One thing is for sure, I am in no lurch,
For all I have to do is turn towards my Church.
Reverend King is awesome, his wisdom is so high,
My Faith in God has kept me truly flying high!
For I am not afraid to Pass while I'm asleep,
I know God and that my "Soul" He will keep.
Two weeks ago was fine and would do anything asked,
Now get out of breath doing something that is tasked.
I just hope the words they say turn out to be true,
Hopefully the pacemaker does what it's to do.
It supposedly puts the heart at a perfect rate,
Making me feel better, maybe even great.
I just want this over and completely off the shelf,
What I need to be is my really own true self.
When all is said and done, I want to be sure,
Everything is over, and there is a cure.
Putting an end to madness hoping all to cease.
Then I can rest easy and finally be at peace.

Good write, you obviously realise that God will always be there, may you get over your current problems soon, I will keep you in my prayers.
Goldfinch, thanks for all your support during this difficult time. Seems as if you're the only one who cares out there! Yes, I do have Faith and rely on it heavily at times. My Pastor, Reverend King, is a God-send. Thanks again my friend...
I feel for you, and seeing your age on your profile too. Good write. Hopefully expressing things helps. I pray for your healing. I'm glad you find the Church and your Faith a great help.
Thanks Orchidee. Your words inspire me SO much! I appreciate you and your friendship!
At times like this poem describes our faith is sorely tested - wishing you every good blessing in your return to health Edward - - prayer can work for us whatever we face. Hugs and best wishes - from Fay
