Another day ended and it�s time to sleep
I lay my head down and begin to weep
I cry for a day that used to be
Before my doctor did this to me
Under his blade and stitch
He said my hernia would be a simple fix
What was he thinking as he cut into my body
He never even said he was sorry
Life as I knew it ended in his hands
I live in a wheelchair and can�t even stand
Anger and sadness now torment my days
An end to this pain, the lord I pray
Alone in this bed without my dear wife
I struggle for reasons to go on with my life
So when I finally cry myself to sleep
I hope that heaven has a place for me.
