Good Night


Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.




Good Night Sweet Lucy. You raged and you fought until your last breath...you and your beautiful family. Sleep tight.  You joined the angels in heaven tonight in your Dragon Mother's arms.

  3. Hello Jill. I just wanted to clarify, the poor little one who passed is Lucy. She was a fellow patient/friend of Lilly’s at AI Dupont.
