#33 He Must Have Life
I don't wish for death to ease his pain
I am too selfish for that
He must have life
I must be able to hear of his life
He must continue to sing to me
I need to see his beautiful baby blues
sparkle and shine
I don't want to just remember these things
Even in his pain they sparkle and shine
I need him to be here to show me who I am
To show me where I came from
If he left, part of me would leave
I would be someone different
I need to touch and hug him
To let him know how important he is
I don't want to remember these things
To feel the pain that I will feel
when my memories of him start to fade
I want him here with us
I want him here with no pain
I love you, my Dad
All through my troubled and sad childhood,
through my rebellious adolescence and through adulthood,
I always knew that you loved me
I hope you knew that I always loved you too
"And nothing can we call our own but death
And that small model of the barren earth
Which serves as paste and cover to our bones.
For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings." W. Shakespeare
"And what the dead had no speech for, when living,
They can tell you, being dead: the communication
Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living." T.S.
Eliot
"While man is growing, life is in decrease;
And cradles rock us nearer to the tomb.
Our birth is nothing but our death begun." Edward Young
