I changed Tim McGraw's, "Life Like You Were Dying"

This is how I felt when I got diagnosed with MS.
Ms song
I was in my early thirties
With a lot of tough life before me
When a moment came that stomped me into the ground
I spent most of the next days,
looking through tears of disbelief,
Talking to God bout the options and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
That this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?
Man, what'd ya do?
And he said
I hit the floor crying
Worrying about my daughter
I stayed strong for my family
Fought to keep my job as long as I could
Worried about how I could pay for medical treatment
And I did speak sweeter
And I wiped many tears and gave out more hugs and tried to be an inspiration'
And I know that, I'll never get the chance
To live like I was dyin'
Divorce came quickly,
401k got depleted,
Sold a bunch of cool car parts,
To pay the lawyers
And all of a sudden being a cripple
Was such an imposition
And I wear a ugly brace on my leg
Well I, I finally started losing the use of my right arm
And I took a good long hard look
At what I'd do if I could do it all again
And then
I would have done more drag racing
I would have ran as much as Forest Gump
I never had the need to ride a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denyin'
And because of MS I'll never get the chance
To live like I was dyin'
Like tomorrow was a gift
And ya got eternity to think about what to deal with it
What did you do with it?
What did I do with it?
What would I do with it?
I did a lot of crying
I hit my knees praying and begging
I had to take experimental medicine
With risky side effects
And I got tons of injections
And I got alot of steroid infusions
And I limp like a zombie
But in the end, Someday I know that Jesus will grant me a new body, and I have lived a blessed life and I'd do it all over again!!!!!!!
Thank you to all my friends, my family.
