ALS Piece by piece he fades away ALS has brought decay. Muscles, nerves all start to fail He's locked inside his human shell. His brain is sharp, his eyes are bright His spirit is his guiding light. From the outside looking in, My undying love only grows for him. My heart aches, as he grows weak, A slient tear rolls down his cheek. He fights to stay strong as long as he can. As he slowly walks, he takes his children's hand. In their eyes he's the worlds greatest dad. The strongest and most loving any kids ever had. And to me he is the most precious gem I've never met another like him. He's changed me so, he's made strong . I thank God he's let me be with him this long. ALS came from outta the blue, And grabbed the strongest man I ever knew. They do their best their hearts are pure But the financial world dictates to all If your hearts will rise or if they'll fall A lota people just don't seem to care But then again they've never been there. And until you see a loved one shrink away You don't realize the price is worth the pay But our faith in God and a cure is strong We just hope it doesn't take too long He still has dreams, things he wants to do Please Dear Lord make his dreams come true By Dianna L. Fendley For My Loving Husband Brent Lane Fendley Who was dianosed with ALS on October 27, 1999 |
