Life 05:35
I watched another good person go To the maker wherever I don’t know As the family gathered round the open window She slipped away As the dawn sun rose A cold fog lifted The family relieved As her memory was gifted And I’m reminded of the frailty of life How lucky that I am that you’re my wife Every moment our kids grow up The blessings that has filled my cup I know that I am thankful for my life It doesn’t seem that fair That good people have to care For loved ones sick and hollow Eyes a shell of what they offer It’s a realisation that the a life has gone Just as sure as life continues on A memory of love and who you are As the sun breaks through the clouds It calls us to be bowed And I’m reminded of the frailty of life How lucky that I am that you’re my wife Every moment our kids grow up The blessings that has filled my cup I know that I am thankful for my life And all the lessons that I’ve learned Are the blessings that I give out in return Why did you have to go Cause I miss you And I’m reminded of the frailty of life How lucky that I am that you’re my wife Every moment our kids grow up The blessings that has filled my cup I know that I am thankful for my life Right now I am just thankful for my life words & music: D Smith 2021

about

Cancer. It is a cruel disease.

To witness the pain, suffering and destruction cancer can cause is a humbling and deeply moving experience. It exposes, questions and commands reflection.

This song was written in the days following the passing of a beautiful person. She died from breast cancer in late 2021. Although I did not know her well. I had fond memories of working with her on and off over the years. I knew she had suffered a long battle with the disease. I knew she was an exceptional nurse. I knew she had a large, close family. I knew she had a beautiful smile, a great sense of humour and heart of gold.

Her name is not required to make this any more personal as her story is indicative of countless people touched by cancer, some passed, some still fighting.

Although I am not affiliated with any particular organisation, please consider supporting an appropriate cause to help rid the world of this awful disease.

Enjoy... Life

about

Darren Smith Orange, Australia

singer/songwriter - chilled out acoustic vibe... out of Orange, NSW.

Original tunes that evolved from the old high school days in a band called "No Frils". Two members Smith and Burgess reconnected 20 years later and still found the musical and lyrical magic that was born of those good old days.

Enjoy with a good wine and relaxed vibe. Daz
