We Do What We Can . . .

 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.
