Death be not Proud and Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night :: Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night

To his father, who is dying from a protracted illness, Dylan says to give his love, that it is all right to cry even though he has never seen his father show the weakness of crying, just so long as he continues to fight against the coming end.
