Fire & Rain

Song: Fire & Rain

Artist: James Taylor

2022 is getting off to a rough start. I just found out my grandma has cancer and doesn't have much time left. I'm in shock and denial and feel devastated and heartbroken! My grandma is a literal angel on earth and I thought she would live forever. I saw her only a couple of weeks ago and she looked so good and was doing so well. It's horrible timing because I was so excited about getting tickets to see Hanson later this year when they go on tour. I feel guilty for asking who would be interested in going with me after getting this news. I know my grandma is ready to go and wants her family to be happy. She would want me to be happy and do something fun like this. But it's devastating. I can't imagine my life without her in it. Without receiving her sweet cards in the mail on my birthday each year. Without her visits. Without her stories and wisdom and testimony. I'm heart-broken. I'm learning I don't deal with death very well...I'm having PTSD to my dog...something I'm still devastated about and still not over.

Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone

Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you

I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,

I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain

I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end

I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, 

You've got to help me make a stand

You've just got to see me through another day

My body's aching and my time is at hand 

And I won't make it any other way

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain

I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end

I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time, 

My back turned towards the sun

Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around

Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come

Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

I've seen fire and I've seen rain

I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end

I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

But I always thought that I'd see you again

Thought I'd see you one more time again

There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now

Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now
