Pull Through

(For Susan, Bryn, Lou, Diane

and other friends who have battled cancer and other life challenges)

Watching you go through this pain
Feels so unjust; does not make sense
You hold your head up high and try
To smile and laugh and say...
There is no way out but through
You are strong and resolute
Lean on me if you need anything
To help you on this journey
I know you - will - pull through

Hands of time are ticking loud
The room is still, we're in a fog
You have always been a rock
We're wrapped up in a hug, you say...
There's no way out but through
You are strong and resolute
Lean on me if you need anything
To help you on this journey
I know you - will - pull through

The body is fragile
Handle with care
Life is so fragile
Handle with prayer

I hear you say you'll be OK
If this path leads to Heaven's gates
And that thought makes us cry
I am tired of asking why
I know you'll  be all right
Either way...
There's no way out but through
You are strong and resolute
Lean on me if you need anything
To help you on this journey
I know you - are loved

I know you are tough!

You have taught us all so much

I know you - will - pull through
