You were always on my mind
One day you were sadly taken away
So extremely ill you were, you couldn't stay
I could not be with you, Covid was rife
For three months I missed the love of my life.
I feared the worst, then heard it was sepsis
You were riding a storm, I was in bits
Only got to you when chances were slim
But you were strong and you never gave in.
It was lonesome without you for so long
Specially that Christmas, it felt so wrong
Friends and family kindly rallied round
Without you, joy in my heart couldn’t be found.
You walked the storm, were led to still water
Prayers were answered, by our supporter
Then came the day that you were returned home
No longer was I at home all alone.
It wasn’t simple, ‘twas a mountain to climb
You slowly improved, few steps at a time.
I thank the medics, so skilled and so kind
Through it all, you were always on my mind.
