I'm Awake

 It's after midnight I'm exhausted

The chemo is kicking my ass

But I'm coming back to win this fight

Tomorrow brings another dose, bring it on


I have the world in my corner

My family of siblings and friends

My new family of beautiful people

We love we laugh we cry


It's 1246 in the morning

Sleep is nnot calling my name

I ponder what tomorrow bring to me

I'll enjoy every moment I'm alive


I'm fighting many battles right now

My health , my sons unhappiness

I'm trying to organize my plan of attack for each

So I put on the gloves and say "lets get it on"


When I think about my support group

The pains of worry I put them through

I'm reminded of what they tell me everyday

If it were us you'd be right there fighting for us


I cried the day I received flowers in the hospital

The card that came and the love inside

The pictures of my goddesses make me realize

I wanna stick around and enjoy this party


I'm in a good place right now

My body would beg to differ

My body and I have fought many battles at an early age

As I've aged they have grown in stature


I'm fighting to fulfill many orders to keep

Momma always told me to make a difference

Help others and never bring it up again

So I think I've helped a few, you know who you are


I'm in love with so much and so many

God knows I don't ask for much

I rarely pray for myself , I don't pray for a cure

But I pray for those who are sad where I am


When tomorrow comes and I believe it will

I'm not finished giving of myself or resources

I have so much left to give

And many people I can help


So God if you take me away

I understand and look forward to seeing momma and dad

If I'm spared I will make it worth your time

I devote myself to being a better man, father and Lover


So I'm exhausted and will force myself to sleep

Thinking about my loves in life you all know who you are

I turn the page on today

Tomorrow is a new chapter I look forward to

Sending love out to family, my girls and my chance to make a difference
