to all ... too soon

my dad's dyin'
he's stop tryin'
he's stop cryin'
or wondurin' why
ain't no use to cry
time just passed him bye

to live to die
he don't know why
the man
the plan
has no more time to give
the man
the plan
can't live

his heat is failin'
his heart is aill'n
since mom died
he's tried
to go on
but on ain't where he's gone

he has no reason
he has no season
to try
she died
otherwise he lied
to himself
to her
things were
what they were

an existence
just resistance
persintance
to death
just waitin'
for his last breath

just livin' to die
not knowin why
only a cry
only a sigh

only a goodbye

he eats
he sleeps
he weaps
his heart still beeps
but he can't go on
not much longer
he ain't gettin' stronger

but he can slumber
he can sleep
in his dreams
know what i means?

he's lost in his dreams
he's lost in the past
his schemes
that never would last

my dad's dyin'
i'm cryin'
we weep alone
hearts of stone
hearts thqat are cold
we just grow old

we just feal the sadness
we just know the gladness
of who we are
of who we were

she was us
she was me
he be me
he be her
we were what we were

her dyin'
my cryin'
i'm tryin'
him too

but death
comes all too soon

This is a sad one, Steve, but represents a couple of things. First the bond between a husband and wife and their children that goes on even after the dieing. It also represents the circle of life that all of us must face. I like the style you used to portray this... great write...

Hi Steve:

I know how your dad feels; and how you must feel. This was sad indeed! Hope both of you will feel better soon.
