Your Dying Spouse 648 - Excuses

I sure know how to excuse my own failures, but that no longer helps here.

Cancer's unsympathetic. It doesn't care about the reasons I have to fail.

Sometimes you just have to make an excuse to keep going, and to win.

There's more to be said, but not enough of me to say it, right now. Just being here with this is a win.

When everything is coming loose

and you can’t see where to begin,

you must come up with an excuse,

a good excuse to win.

There are many ways to quit,

some honourable exits, too,

but the honour is the worst of it,

and that bill is coming due.

No need to think outside the box,

you’re locked in, come what may.

Just pay heed to the big dumb ox

whose endurance rules the day.

The yoke may not be easy, or light,

but while you live, you’re in the fight.

Music from Christopher Cross, with Ride Like The Wind.

Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.
