Is it so Easy?
Shall I stick around Shall I play the game
I’ve
been around for a little while
Though
I always knew I’d go out in style
The
body is giving up or so I think
Or
is it the mind that is also a little weak
When
I was younger I would have beat this thing
With
out a doubt it was easy, just one round in the ring
Now
it is not so easy it takes a little more
Nothing
I’ve overcome was this harsh or seemed such a chore
Or
is it the things I see, or thought I saw
Come
back to the mind with the vision of history
As
a rosy picture for my tired heart to draw
Can
I really see the pages I turn back
Or
is this a wish for the strength I lack
All
these reasons not to push on come easy enough
Those
around will not miss much, they’ll remeber the one who was so tough
They’ll
understand why I had to give-up
It
was for them, I thought, strange enough
And
as they look back on this strength, I gave my all
My
whole lifes story, the …………………. Or will it be
The
battle I wouldn’t fight, that they recall
Otis,
I
hope we won’t have to miss you,
Love, Shawn, Dorothy, Randie, & Ashlie
