This is Life Lived

Waddle on over
Or wheel yourself up
Smile always there
Joke ready to be delivered
High pitch scream of joy
Laughter that pierces the air

This is life lived
With no regret
The love of the Lord
Is in my friend

No matter the task
He always can
Its the courage of a lion
But he is a lamb
Step out onto water
And he trusts in Him

This is life lived
With no regret
The love of the Lord
Is in my friend

Unique he is
Veggies eaten first
Broccoli dipped in honey mustard
Always a cup to spill
Room for one more pickle
But he would give the last


This is life lived
With no regret
The love of the Lord
Is in my friend

Strap on that harness
Don't tell him he can't
Step out on the wire
And trust the course
Tired and exhausted but undeterred
Until ground is reached with a smile

This is life lived
With no regret
The love of the Lord
Is in my friend

He may be done
Or yet still in line
But yelling encouragements
Whether friends or strangers
He waits to watch
Until they complete the task


This is life lived
With no regret
The love of the Lord
Is in my friend

The simplicity of his joy
A slide 25 times in a row
The last the same as the first
Flirting with the life guards
As he rides the lift
Don't dare ask him to take a rest

This is life lived
With no regret
The love of the Lord
Is in my friend

Sits in cabin time
Eager to share
Just a little bit about his Lord
Bible always opened
Won't sleep without a read
Every verse given much thought

This is life lived
With no regret
The love of the Lord
Is in my friend

He knows his disability
But trusts in God's design
Peace he has with it all
For he knows he is still loved
Wheel chair or not
He is still a light


This is life lived
With no regret
The love of the Lord
Is in my friend

Spend all week with him
Or pass by briefly
You will leave the same
A changed person
Because of my friend
And the life he lives


This is life lived
With no regret
The love of the Lord
Is in my friend
