To die or not that is the question

Comes a time for letting go
Not so easy how to know
Do we fight with evry breath
Do we yield to coming death

Are the strong more blessed to live
Are the weak more wise to give
Can we with Grace just say goodbye
Permit those dear ones just to die

Ours is the task to aid our kin
Assist their journey to begin
Sit by their side and hold a hand
Before the pros to take a stand

Perhaps the best we all can do
Is share our wishes so on cue
When it's our turn to fall apart
The docs will know what not to start
