Yeah, I'm fine, it's just the flu she said with a smile, but
when they turned their backs, the tears would flow. She knew she
only had a while to live to breathe to see to be to bleed to
stand on her own two weakened feet "and so I pray everyday:
don't take my mother away" and in the end maybe i'll see you
