There, There Katie.

And I know it's only just started
but I'm gonna be there at six
with some flowers on sticks
that were clipped just to make the weak strong


Courage is something I'll need now
because its been a hell of a day
I've spent fading away
but we all fade sometimes
I believe


Katie, I'm sorry
that in your condition
the sunshine's been missing
but lately
I don't believe that it isn't there
oh and Katie
Katie be happy
this world can be ugly
but isn't it beautiful

This is from a song that Andrew McMahon wrote to his sister while he was fighting leukaemia. She gave him a bone marrow transplant.

I have been listening to lots of his songs lately.
