It starts with a visit to his physician
I don't feel right, can you help me get well?
Test results put the doctor in an awkward position.
To his patient the truth he feels obliged to tell.
Regretfully you are very sick and soon about to die.
A few months or years there's no way to know.
There's a really good hospital and it's nearby.
Being informed of such news is a mighty blow.
So the hospital stay becomes a new blight.
With the ending of his life entering the scene,
The nurse attends to ease his plight.
Her bearing and attitude are so serene,
Calming and soothing in her special way,
Lets him relax and accept his dying day.
