Bless me dear Jesus as I’m desperate to continue this wonderful life,

You have gifted it to me and I greatly appreciate my children and wife,

The unconditional love given me by Patti has been given one lucky man,

I am that man and I thank you Lord for that I will do the very best I can,

I realize I have failed to exemplify how a Christian should act while in pain,

Please forgive me for the times I have grown short and acted with disdain,

Bless my wife please and protect her always especially when I’m not near,

I will treat others as you would remembering that in your eyes all are dear.

Bestow your blessings on my children and grandchildren during this time,

If allowed to go on my Lord I will be better at teaching to all that are mine,

For my brothers and sisters I pray for your blessing and understanding,

As for me dear Lord, I will do my best to endure any dues life may bring,

I am ashamed that my actions haven’t shown Your Word in everything I do,

As I endure the many diseases I’ve encountered I will try to act more like you,

Forgiveness I’ve given as I hold no grudges instead I try to understand why,

My life is Yours Dear Lord please guide me in my actions long before I die,

Free will you have given to us that we may have unconditional love to offer,

Thank You My Lord for the unconditional love that has been given me by her,

Until I stood to protect her one evening did I realize the true meaning of love,

Static love has no progress thus I thank You as I’m with the one I dream of.

The end, by Pat.

Lord Jesus please bless me that I may survive another hurdle to return to her arms,

Thank you Lord.  June 22, 2015. NW Memorial Hospital.
