Question: Do you remember the classic line "Tis only a flesh wound"!?
'Tis Only a Flesh Wound

Are you familiar with Monty Python's classic
where soldier returns from field of battle
arm torn off, hanging on by bloody thread
to his leader reports, 'tis only a flesh wound!?

Miles from me, son sits in suicide watch
my flesh, my blood, from my womb
I'm told simply by Al-Anon experts, let it go
it won't destroy you, it's only a flesh wound!.

I think of the spear thrust into Lord's side
to see if slow death on cross was complete
but water not blood poured forth from his lung
proving life He gave willingly, didn't suffocate
at all, His death 'twas hardly a flesh wound!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

OMGosh I totally remember this line, but when I heard it it was supposed to be FUNNY!. Dear God, please be with Ma's son where he is and give him your mercy and grace to endure his suffering whatever his case may be!. Send angels to guard his life and bring peace to his ma ma!. Thank you for loving us so much that you could give yourself for us and be part of our miniscule lives!. In Jesus Name!.!.!.!.AMEN!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You must leave it to God now, Ma, for He knows the only path!.!.!.I'm praying for you and at the same time feeling guilty for never having known your pain!.

I've done this for one other friend: A message from the Angels for you:
"Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the world!."
Please keep your faith!.
