My Peace with God

My Peace with God

This comes with a heavy heart
Not even sure just where to start
Another one has passed away
Loved her more then words could say
For years the only Love in life
Once my best friend and my wife
Apart we may have grown
But neither one was ever alone
To understand I don't try
Nor do I ask God why
It was her he had to take
Why not me for heaven sake
Her heart was big her mission tough
She always saw the diamond in the rough
Very simple is how she's live
So to others she could give
Now 1/2 drunk and my words may slur
To me life is but a blur
Got a bottle in my hand
Sleeping pills on the night stand
Not much more can I take
One dies in the others wake
For now I'll roll a joint
And ask God, What's your point
Is it to see what I can take?
Or at what point will I break
God I wish to me you'd give
Just one reason why I should live
It seems that my life is through
God please show me what to do
No way I can carry on
The whiskey and pills are now both gone
Into the bed I will creep
Looking for everlasting sleep
To you Father I would pray
But what else can I really say
As the light started to fade
My peace with God I have made!
