My dad's not doing well, actually he's getting worse, which is to be expected. He's now taking morphine pills every 4 hours. We're hoping to visit him this weekend.
I came across this song by Warren Zevon called Keep Me In Your Heart. He died of cancer a few years ago. It's a beautiful song and right now I can't help but think of my dad when I hear it.
Here are the lyrics:
Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for awhile
If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for awhile
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for awhile
There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house
Keep me in your heart for awhile
You know I'm tied to you like buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you
Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for awhile
These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for awhile
Keep me in your heart for awhile.
