Don't cry for the dead today
Instead, weep for the living
Say a little prayer, and words of wisdom you may
Try to find it in your heart to be forgiving
Remember that it all comes around my friend
And pray for them once they are found
Crying won't help their tortures come to an end
Tell them that the devil's coming to run them aground
In search of an end to their bitter and hopeless lives
Only knowing that one way to be
Now they'll wish they'd found better when they meet the devil's knives

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.
