A hush fell over the world one night i watched my father breath at bed side much love made a firm tie to our spirits and lives blood and saline tubes ran through a room fan buzzed and blew an old clock went on ticking a father and a son it seemed teasing i contemplated the blood dropping midnight one and two the time going the blood drops from one life rotated softly for another to survive to toss and turn he tried rolling left and right i gazed firmly at the sight not to fall asleep for care i tried the night of a father and a son made bond of desperate feelings done i still had little hope to cling
