Wondering What the Future Holds
By Tammy S. Bales
Oct. 2, 1999
From Tammy (Chastain) Bales of Princeton, IL, in honor of her uncle Ben Chastain of Quincy, IL. Her uncle Ben has Huntington's Disease.
Sitting here wondering what the future holds
Scared and frightened
But that my shoulders may be lightened
Waiting for the day to know
Days come and days go
What am I to do
So many ways this can go
Thinking of the worst but praying for the good
May God give me strength to get through these days
Praying for the best
I close my eyes and tears begin to fall down my face
Feeling the pain of the unknown
My heart feels like it is closing in
If someone could take this pain inside of me
Please just set me free
May God give me the strength for the worst
Thinking of my children, looking at them
What would I do
Looking into their little eyes
Knowing what could happen
If there was a way that they could realize
This pain I feel right now
God give me the strength to be strong
What happens if something goes wrong
My family told me no, don't do it
And what happens if they are right
Please Lord prove them wrong
Moments pass and I can hide this inside
But the day is going to come
Will I be able to keep it inside any longer
Please Lord I beg of you just make me stronger
They say he gives you only things you can handle
But what happens if I can't
If everyone could only know what goes through my mind
As I sit here and wait what the future holds for me
How in the world can this be
How can this be happening to me
