Palliative Care Through Song
A reflection on advance care planning and honoring one’s wishes

Life keeps moving like waves on the shore
But have you thought what you’re living for
When the storm rolls in and skies turn gray
Who will speak for you on that fateful day

Write it down make it clear let your voice be heard
Your wishes in ink not just spoken word
Plan for tomorrow while the sun shines bright
So your heart can rest in the still of the night

The rhythm of life can’t be controlled
But choices are treasures more precious than gold
Don’t leave it to chance don’t leave them guessing
Advance your care it’s a lasting blessing

Write it down make it clear let your voice be heard
Your wishes in ink not just spoken word
Plan for tomorrow while the sun shines bright
So your heart can rest in the still of the night

It’s not about fear it’s about respect
For the life you’ve built and what you protect
Hand in hand with love we pave the way
To honor your choices come what may

Write it down make it clear let your voice be heard
Your wishes in ink not just spoken word
Plan for tomorrow while the sun shines bright
So your heart can rest in the still of the night
