Hey Girlfriend, Can We Talk

I know it is hard for us to walk

Many of us are in wheelchairs

Many of us cannot walk up stairs

Many of us are in a lot of pain

Many of us have a lot of strain

Many of us are chronically ill

All of us have some type of pills

Yes girlfriend, that is sad

However it's my choice to be glad

Life is about choices we must make

I chose the better road for me to take

I choose love in place of hate

Isn't that really great

I choose to smile instead of frown

It helps me keep my feet on the ground

I choose to build instead of destroy

It fills me with an inner joy

I choose to persevere instead of to quit

For at my computer is where I sit

I choose to praise rather than gossip

Gossip causes pain like hot water from a faucet

I choose to heal rather than wound

I would rather hear my friends swoon

I choose to give rather than take

Giving never causes a heart to break

I choose to act rather than delay

You never know if this will be your last day

I choose to forgive rather than to curse

For to curse someone is simply the worst

I choose to pray rather than despair

Prayer is something everyone can share

So here I sit alone, sick and disable

Thinking of the things of which I am capable

Making a choice to be happy and smile

Knowing God is next to me all the while

For it is not my disabilities that makes me who I am

It is my love for others and trying to tell them

If I pass around the love, I have inside of me

Maybe you will take a look, and then you will see

It's not really that bad if we make the right choice

Then perhaps inside of us we will be able to rejoice

God may have taken away, many things we were able to do

Now look in the mirror, He's Made An Angel Out of YOU

Hey Girlfriend, I'm Glad We Talked!
