Murphy
Old man Murphy has cancer.
We went to the doctor, said there was
Nothing left to do.
I hugged him and cried a little.
We've been through so much.
I pleaded to give him one more month
There's must something you can do.
The doc said we've done all we can.
Hold him and tell him,.there's nothing
to fear, and we'll put him out of his pain.
Old man Murphy looked at me and I think
I saw a smile, and I knew it was ok.
I called my wife and told her,
she said it's time to let go.
So I made that decision,
and we ended his suffering.
My wife called back,
and we'll I told her what was what.
She said she be there to pick me up,
after the started the morphine drip on
her mother.
