How does it feel now?
How does it feel now?
We hurt each other day after day
Dedicated to Elizabeth Fox who we all
How Does It Feel
Ha! ha! ha! It's really funny when we laugh
at another's expense
...But what do you do?
...And what do you say?
...What's left to do when they're going away?
...All that poking fun?
...Laughing while tears run down their face?
...Making fun of someone else's shortcomings?
As your friend lies helpless in the ICU?
Tubes in her nose and mouth
Needles and IV's feeding her life...
Machines pushing breath in and out of her body
As she is strapped down in her bed.
In one way or another...
We all need to open our eyes, life is so short
Sometimes tragedies happen without warning...
Maybe these things happen so we can open
our eyes...
So we can change our ways before it's too late..
love and hold
preciously in our hearts.
