We took a trip to RAH in Adelaide
It's been two months you know
It takes us 3 and a half hours
Just to get there: what a hike?
Easter weekend is now over
Still so many cars and caravans
Returning from their little holidays
Yesterday the traffic was horrific
Miles and miles of cars crawling
Down Port Wakefield Road
The news helicopter showed us
All those people returning home
I thank God that we drove today
Not yesterday: for it would've been hell
Though the waiting room wasn't busy
We waited for such a long time
The news was good: if you ask me
For now those (Thalidomide) chemo tablets
Have been stopped at last: just as well
It's been ten months of stress and hell
Poor mum's feet are numb and tingling
That's the side effect of the chemo
That's the price you pay for health
Health: well not in reality: truth to tell
For though the tablets are now ceasing
The illness has not actually been cured
It's just a little pause in the treatment
Just a little bit of peace amid the hell
The bloods will still be monitored monthly
Everything else will go on just the same
For you see there is no cure for what ails her
There is no miracle: no amazing cure at all
Unless dear God in heaven gives His blessing
Unless my Lord decides to save her soul
Is this what you call remission?
I suppose we'll just have to wait and see...
I have my faith in God to sustain me
I have given up all into His majestic hands
For I know that everything is in His power
There is nothing that He cannot do...
