RUNNING OUT OF TIME
<p>
Back in 1996 <br>
She'd really had enough <br>
She couldn't walk the stairs <br>
Without a pant or puff. <br><br>
She couldn't tie her shoelace<br>
Her knees hurt really bad <br>
She had constant indigestion <br>
It really was so sad.<br><br>
Her heart it use to beat so fast <br>
She thought that she would die <br>
Everything was such an effort <br>
She'd just sit down and cry. <br><br>
Her husband loved her very much <br>
Her children loved her too <br>
But when all was said and done<br>
There was nothing they could do. <br><br>
She'd been on many diets before <br>
But to no avail <br>
Grapefruits, milk shakes, water <br>
And pills sent through the mail. <br><br>
She took her clothes off one by one <br>
And forced herself to look <br>
And with the shock that followed <br>
She wept and then she shook. <br><br>
When the sobbing finally stopped <br>
The mist it started to clear <br>
She made a big decision <br>
As she wiped the final tear. <br><br>
Early in the mornings <br>
When she opens up her eyes <br>
She looks into the mirror <br>
And she has a nice surprise. <br><br>
There stands this lovely lady <br>
Where once there was not <br>
She used to feel so ugly <br>
And she weighed an awful lot. <br><br>
She feels so young and healthy now <br>
The battle she has won <br>
No more sad and cloudy days <br>
She only sees the sun. <br><br>
She never thought she'd do it <br>
But she proved herself so wrong <br>
It wasn't always easy <br>
But the stones have really gone. <br><br>
And so she'd like to say to you <br>
When things seem really down <br>
You have the strength to do it <br>
To turn your life around. <br><br>
She knows it's sometimes very hard <br>
And it's very easily said <br>
But if only she could give you <br>
Five minutes inside her head. <br><br>
So as she takes her precious time <br>
Writing you this rhyme <br>
Look deep into this person <br>
She was running out of time.
