Dying's been on my mind for a time Don't take me to task for wearing a mask Tell it to my doctors I believe them, not a blogger I could ask I'm not dying but bullets are flying We know we only have so much life to live I surely don't want to leave this place But I'll wait for you if God says take this grace Living with love on earth or in paradise If I believe then you should see it in my eyes It's a good life if it's true If I go I'll ask him to take care of you Living's been on my mind for a time Don't worry if I seem in a hurry I know my time is ticking I'm making up for the thing's I need to be forgetting Don't worry about me It's me worrying about you Leaving you behind hurts me My real love is stronger than a memory Living with love on earth or in paradise If I believe then I should see it in my eyes It's a good life if it's true If I go I'll ask him to take care of you

For A Time
Dying's been on my mind for a time Don't take me to task for wearing a mask Tell it to my doctors I believe them, not a blogger I could ask I'm not dying but bullets are flying We know we only have so much life to live I surely don't want to leave this place But I'll wait for you if God says take this grace Living with love on earth or in paradise If I believe then you should see it in my eyes It's a good life if it's true If I go I'll ask him to take care of you Living's been on my mind for a time Don't worry if I seem in a hurry I know my time is ticking I'm making up for the thing's I need to be forgetting Don't worry about me It's me worrying about you Leaving you behind hurts me My real love is stronger than a memory Living with love on earth or in paradise If I believe then I should see it in my eyes It's a good life if it's true If I go I'll ask him to take care of you
I've had cancer 3x. This is about living like that.
