DFU SONG PARODIES

This is such a tough issue. I would not want to live my life in a vegetative state. Yet, there is video showing Terri responding. She did not leave her wishes in writing, so we must take the word of a husband who may have an agenda. Her parents have cared for her and want to care for her. I've avoided writing a song about Terri, but I guess it was about time. With heavy heart --
CANDLE IN THE WIND
Some say she should die...as if they know what's really best
But Terri's parents fight for her...for that she's really blessed
For years they've stood beside her...now the court says that they must go
It really is a tragedy I hope I never know
Someone answer why, if she responds, that a judge says she must die
He is going to face his Maker who will ask him why
There are angry voices and fingers pointed to place the blame
Across this great nation people pray -- do not put out her flame
We have just one life...given to us by God above
Who knows the progress she might make if we all send her love
Such miracles have happened...starving her would be a mistake
And all the hearts of those most close to her would always ache
Someone answer why, if she responds, that a judge says she must die
He is going to face his Maker who will ask him why
There are angry voices and fingers pointed to place the blame
Across this great nation people pray -- do not put out her flame

Hi, Doug. Good to see you here! I'd been off active FR duty, but was reactivated for Terri.
Thanks for another wonderful song -- the tune you chose, and the words you put to it, are perfect.
"Do not put out her flame." -- it is an unbelievable evil.

Doug has done many wonderful songs over the years -- he has done one of his best here. Can this song be linked and passed on? I'm printing it out to sing myself to sleep tonight.
Thanks again, Doug.
Good night, all. Good night, Terri. May angels seen and unseen continue to guard and protect you through the night. May those in position to do good for you -- do it.
