I wrote this parody for a dear lady from my church who has been battling breast cancer. Tomorrow is her last day of radiation! She was the one who thought of singing "One Day More" on her last day; I just decided to give her some more words to celebrate with. :)
For those of you who don't know the tune:
One Day More
By Melody Beerbower, 6-2-14
Dedicated to Mrs. Morgan
One day more
One last day, one last torturing
Till I see the end of this road of suffering
Praise God that it’s just one more time
If it were more I’d lose my mind
One day more.
How did I make it to today?
My skin and I have slowly parted
One day more!
Tomorrow will be my last day!
It seems so long since all this started.
One more day I’m on the bed
(Will the treatment ever end?)
One more day for my skin’s burning
(They’ve cooked me through and through)
What despair I might have had
(It’s easy to fall into)
If it weren’t for all the prayer!
One more day to bear the storm
(No more radiation beams.)
In this battle with the cancer.
(No more claustrophobia.)
Though it’s been a long hard ride
(Still it's almost done.)
God was always there with me!
The time has come
The day is near!
One day more!
One more day of radiation
No it wasn’t very fun
I’m so glad it’s almost over
One more day and I’ll be done!
Energy to spare
Having lots of hair
Never know how blessed you are
Till it’s not there
Here a little scare
There a little sore
Most of me is aching
But there’s one day more!
One day to a new beginning!
This turkey’s ready to be done.
Let my skin begin to heal!
(Let my skin begin to heal!)
It feels so good now to be winning!
(It feels so good now to have won.)
It just makes me want to sing!
With God right here
I’ll make it through!
One day more!
Tomorrow is another day
Tomorrow’s not so far away.
Tomorrow I’ll be finished with the radiation I abhor!
One more dawn. One more day.
ONE DAY MORE!
Mrs. Morgan, I'm so happy you're almost done! It's been an encouragement to me to see your faith in God, your trust in Him, and your joy.
Love, Melody
