Room 407

Room 407 I knocked lightly on the door but no answer was heard That's when I felt she didn't want to be disturbed The room was dark and gloomy and curtains drawn I thought that her family had just gone home Her eyes were sunken as tears flowed down her face I pulled the chair close to her personal space I took her frail hand and held it against mine She muttered the words "Thank you for being so kind" We talked for a good bit of the first hour you see But this evil disease called CANCER was trying to take her from me I opened the curtains to let the sunshine in one last day I sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand and prayed No family was there as she began slipping away I told her to go to be with GOD and it was more than ok All was still in room 407 from then on Because she had finally been called to her eternal home Tammy Arrowood 1-25-2018
