3 in 1

Robert Joseph Mattingly 1957 (Brookline, Massachusetts)



Cardiomyopathy (Heart
Failure), hernia dropped between
My legs, and this Prostate Cancer
Stage 4 which is like three in one.
I had hernia surgery .
I can't complain about it at
All 'cause God has been good to me,
All the way up to sixty-five.
I don't have a right to complain.
He has blessed me in every way.
Thank You so much for Jesus, God.
I'm ready to go when You are,
For the mansion Christ promised me.
I am already doing what
You want me to do preparing
For the job You have for me in
Heaven that's praying every day.
