Lillian

I know a woman and her name is Lillian A dear kind soul she has a 'heart of gold' She has three children one had schizophrenia And he died young just twenty five years old. For years and years her son was so unhappy He heard strange and weird voices in his head For years he felt downhearted and suicidal And he seemed to lose the will to live she said. If her son had lived next year he would be forty And 'twas not of natural causes that he died For years he battled against mental illness Which finally led him to commit suicide. He rang his mother Lillian from Adelaide He rang me she said just to say goodbye His death to say the least not unexpected For many years he had this wish to die. She said his death was by choice his decision From his affliction he found a release His hell was life and living caused him torture And in his death my son found his own peace. I know a woman and her name is Lillian And her story a story to inspire And she feels happy despite all she has been through And she is one i can't help but admire.
