================================================================
When
my life is finally measured in
months, weeks, days or hours.
I want to live free of pain,
free of indignity,
free from loneliness.
Give me shelter,
give me your hand,
give me your care,
give me your understanding,
give me your love.
Then let me go peacefully
and help my family to understand.
