Strong Medicine



S trange, but I fear treatments just won't last
T aking my life backward to who I was in the past;
R omping around with sin, heartache, and despair,
O nly thinking of myself for no one else is there...
N one to be accountable for the wrongs in my life,
G one forever are my dreams, children, and my wife.

M any nights I'll anguish sad and all alone,
E ven hoping someone might call me on the phone.
D ead in my trespasses, I'll reach for a friend...
I only find the bottle brings me lower in the end.
C an you hear me Jesus?  I'm a  sinner saved by grace!
I need to feel your touch and I want to see your face,
N ever have You left me since I first believed
E nding all my worries by Your medicine received.

-Robert E. Michaud Jr.-

Bob; You are so right! He is all we have that counts! Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Bob...are you showing us a glimpse of someone we did not know? This is indeed strong...in the sense of morals and belief and truth...

Sir, I am glad to call you

my friend...
