Only the Dreamer Dies
ONLY THE DREAMER DIES…
The arid winds steal
Our tears.
The sterile dust tease
Cystic hopes
Of dreams deferred.
At shrines of Lazarus
Visions
Beckon the faithful
Silencing
The wailing discontent:
Only the dreamer dies; the dream
Lives on.
Only the dreamer dies; the dream
Lives on....

Little Haley Died Today
Haley gave up the ghost today,
all we could do was cry and pray.
She'd suffered so long, her whole life,
disease had wracked her body with strife.
Cystic Fibrosis did her in,
choked her lungs and kept her thin,
poor little child, we knew her well,
spending so much time in hospital hell.
She barely made twenty-one,
and now her short life's said and done.
We cried for her mother, in such grief,
but to Haley, by God, death was a relief.
