   I can’t think of a song, but there is a great poem about it.

   Rage Against the Dying of the Light by Dylan Thomas

   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.

   Even a tough biker guy would be moved by these words. My father was a hard a** Marine all his life, and I brought him to tears with this poem when he was dying.

   I’ll pray for your step dad and your family. Best thoughts to you all.

   Thumbs up to you folks who could remember the songs.

   How about standing outside the fire (Garth Brooks) or No Fear (Terri Clark) both songs are used for/by charity groups for special events…I think they’ll remind him to stay strong and not to give up hope
