What's Changed

What's changed?
     I mean really – what has changed
          With indicators up
               Mind whirling with this stuff –
                    what's changed?

I guess not much
     I hunched it was the case
          That six years I would make
               How much beyond
                    Is anybody's guess
                         Less chemo's ugly mess –

I guess the visionary types
     Would say it was my gripes
          And lack of faith somehow

When leg I broke no line up at my door
     Advising something more
          Quick fix that I could do
               Not like within this zoo –

So I, as funnel comes once more
     With freight-train’s deafening roar
          Heart melts like wax inside
               Me as these thoughts abide.

Lord, you've already been
     Here in this land I'm in
          So no surprise to you
               And you know what to do –

At least this second track
     Continues, though I lack
          Perspective, as before
               Change made gives so much more.

Lord stop
     These whirling thoughts within
          My feelings counter spin
               Help me lay fears aside
                    And in Your presence, bide.

Lord, what I hear –
     Is feel your presence here
         That all will be okay
              That you will make a way
                   That life will carry on
                        And we will sing our song
                             Regardless of how long.

Lord, trip takes on new life
     A gift of self to wife
          My attitude you fix –
               Let love each moment mix,
                    Our celebrated days
                         Fill up, and pour out praise.

Lord, I have lots to do; 
     Help me not play the fool;
          Keep focus full on you,
               Her hand within mine too.

You lead, I'll go Your way
      Wrap things up every day;
           We're well along today;
                Thank you for life you've gave.
