He had cancer
A terminal diagnosis
Told he was going to die
He saw it as a chance to live
He had to make amends
Had to learn how to forgive
Spend his time crying
Very little need to pretend
Life was now precious to him
Soon it'd be gone
But that fine
He was ready
All those false bargains
He made with his gods
They never listened
Until he stopped
They never answered him
He knew the answer within
He told everyone
That he was finally happy
But in truth
He no longer cared
He knew he was going away
Finally understanding
Life was good
Every new day precious
Good bye dying
Hello living
It was time to give
To live every day
