DIE WITH DIGNITY

If I'm attached to a machine,

shoot me up with an overdose of morphine.

I sent an infant daughter on her trip

through eternity with a hospital administered injection.

She departed painlessly and quietly.

I would have no qualms electing the same path.

She didn't reside on earth for long,

but in her short life she taught me a life-long lesson.

We have an obligation to ourselves and our loved ones

to die with dignity.
