WHO KNOWS BEST,BUT ME? I'm getting off my sleeping pills. They aren't what I need to be I'm taking my heart medicine To put pressure, where it should be. I feel my heart a'pumpin' And Iguess that's good But, if it decides to stop I hope it does it for good. I don't want to miss a "stroke" Have them say, that's what I had I can't lay there paralysed Either, one side, is just as bad! If there's one could take care of me Then, I'd guess I'd found a fool I've saved me up a lot of meds They could be a very usefull tool. So, if you may find me looking Into your eyes that just don't see Just remember what I ask, "Will you please take care of me?" Don't let me lay and suffer Because you think that it's not right Please give me the honor To admit, I've lost the fight. It's not your place to judge If you're not there to see How can you say, "I know!" Where I would want to be. So, when my time may come Too soon, or if too late Please honor me and let me go When, I know it's my fate.

Don't let me lay and suffer Because you think that it's not right Please give me the honor To admit, I've lost the fight. ~*~ Abe, this brought a huge hunk of the right to choose, and the right we need to adopt, at time, to let our loved ones know it is "ok" to let go. Strong people get into the life-long attitude and impulse to "be all" for their own loved ones, to be forever strong, to be forever "here". The inner fight that is mind over matter when matter has deteriorated so far that all that is left is a skeleton, and a will's desire... sometimes we need to say, "please know we will be all right...it's ok, to let go." I know, and while I commend people to give it their best shot and to NOT give up if they can be as whole as possible, in body and mind... but we must also remember to allow our own beloveds that it is "ok" to let go, in quiet dignity, and be gracious in the acceptance. I know you are not condoning any way out other than the most natural of ways...by living life as well as you can, and going out as graciously as one can...but I do agree with you, that some of us, when it is our time, will know best, and our family, and friends, need to listen, understand, and be willing to say, "go in peace." Thank you for this. |
