“I used to drive a school bus.  Every time I see someone riding a school bus, I get, uh, I don’t know what the word is… it’s um, like I used to do it…. and now I can’t do it no more.  I get teary eyed ‘cause I used to do it, ‘cause I want to do it again.

I got two girls and four boys.  My baby girl, she the one that tells me, ‘Momma, you can do it.’  You know, just keep tryin’ to push me to do stuff that I think I can’t do.

When I got sick, she always… she was there with me.  And when I couldn’t see to take my bath, she would take to, you know, make a quick bubble bath.  She take care of me and do my hair and stuff.  So she wanted me to look, look nice.  I know she wanted me to look nice ‘cause I think she used to look nice, you know, like a princess.  So she gotta make her momma look special.

She’s like, when I want to do somethin’ and it seems like I can’t, she don’t make me.  She just keeps encourages me, I can do it.  I can do it!  Then I try and find out I can do it, yeah, she’s my baby girl.

I just thank God that I can wake up another day.  I go to church every Sunday and every Bible study.  They make sure I get to church.  I survive on being there.  You won’t keep me from goin’!  You know I love the Lord, so I keep stayin‘ in church.

‘They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength.’  God is God.  There is no other one!  I gotta trust Him.  I don’t trust in nothin‘ else.  I trust Him ‘cause He’ll do just what He says He’ll do.  He wakes me up every mornin’.  When I wake up and I breathe, I know that God’s got his hands on me!”
