Spinal Cord Injury

One day after we fell and learned to cope with living hell
We will again some day walk tall in answer to some research call
Until that day we must not falter, 'til this great journey starts to alter
Shall it be some magic potion that someday sets our limbs in motion
Could it be some surgeon's skill or priest of cloth my pain does kill
And If I should die before I waken, and in God's court my soul hath taken
I will stand before my maker. Saying: I'm a giver, not a taker"!
But 'til that day that we must all face, should we now join the research race.
Then raise a glass and toast a cry. "There but for the grace of God Go I" !
