The reason the word 'bitch' is used is because of how i felt at the time of writing. No offense is meant or given. But the word is integral to the piece. . Without it the poem is meaningless. I read it at church, and had praise for its honesty.

Life's a , But it will not go, Like an itch, It grows and grows, Unless you know How to treat it And delete it, Start all over again; Yes, life’s a , But you’ll never understand, Unless you take a stand To grab hold of the hand That makes life better, Like a stitch in time, All sublime, Take a look at life As the light shines Before the darkness swallows, Life can be a , But if you scratch it as an itch, It'll go away, yet return, So, take your life And take a flight to the mountain top, Give every breath And every step A reason to live, For life is better than this, Take a hold of the proffered hand And lift your head Seek the Lord of a better land, Let's open our eyes And know that life is rich, When trusting the Saviour of all things, Give heart and soul To live the life he gives, For life is rich, Forget that itch, See how the stitch scars, Yet ignites the stars, Giving life a reason to be rich Now that you find There is no switch Taking you forward Toward the glory That shares life with the world, Because life is rich When it’s with the Lord.
