We do what we can.
To save peoples lives.
To heal and mend.
hold their hands in the midst of suffering
while doing a million other task
to look them in the eyes.
We cannot help those who will not help themselves
down the road to self destruction
who say they are ok with the dying.
once the dying starts
The tune we all dance to begins to change
I do not want to die
Most of us do not want . . .
to die.
Time and years.
life becomes tenuous and increasingly precious
the less beats and breaths remain to be taken.
