My father Sick of motor neurones And holes in the aorta Has made a decision Full of heartache and pain I support I understand But the darkness has returned He has started the journey The process has begun I will be by his side I will hold his hand I will fight back my tears My aching heart will stay hidden But the darkness will come too I must be brave For him I must stay strong He will be frightened He won't know what will happen After he has left his body Does he still believe in God I'm not sure I should ask him I wonder if darkness has got him too.

Assisted suicide
My father Sick of motor neurones And holes in the aorta Has made a decision Full of heartache and pain I support I understand But the darkness has returned He has started the journey The process has begun I will be by his side I will hold his hand I will fight back my tears My aching heart will stay hidden But the darkness will come too I must be brave For him I must stay strong He will be frightened He won't know what will happen After he has left his body Does he still believe in God I'm not sure I should ask him I wonder if darkness has got him too.
I guess a lot of poetry will come from me during this heartbreaking time that lies ahead....
