DFU SONG: Candle in the Wind (for Terri)
DFU SONG PARODIES | 11-03-03 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Posted on 11/03/2003 10:27:12 PM PST by doug from upland

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

Look at how she is looking at her Mother. She is not in a coma, no way, no how.

"Comas" are not uncommonly output-only blockages. The patient can still perceive by hearing (or more) even though incapable of mustering voluntary motion.

It is a truly beautiful. That's the photo that's worth a thousand words -- to those who are willing to see and hear the truth.

Someone said about the photo of Michael & Terri, taken in 1990, that he sure is looking at her as if she is "there". SHE has not changed from then to now. And you know that photographer didn't wait 4 HOURS to get that shot!

Terri might not have "performed" as Michael wanted in terms of her improvement with short-term rehab. If so, HE'S the one with the unrealistic expectations. What's he like with potty training?

The fact that this became a "right to die" issue is appalling, atrocious, based as it is on later recollection and hearsay, hidden medical records, and no access to the patient. Now bigger egos are involved, with no concern for the person, making her a case, a cause.

Let Terri go home to her mother, Michael. What is she to you? Feel free to put this all behind you, get on with your life -- let Terri get on with hers.

Sad. May angels seen and unseen continue to guard, protect, and strengthen Terri.

Your tagline is scary for Californians.
