At Night Thinking

. In the hospital wanting you At night thinking of you_awake For how many hours and long days Will be glad to be home_goodness sake Hello poetry soup have_missed you The long seconds seem to just crawl In the hospital room no wind Trapped within these four gray plain wall Alone this one woman_one man All the staff here has been so kind But this is not where I want to be Suffocation plays on my mind Life has a trap_caught in its ways What a story to sing and tell How when one truly does love The story of life always ends well

what a great final stanza to this one. A very nice portrayal of your thoughts on a night such as that one. LUv, Andrea

Hi Sara. I don't know what to say. There is a strong element of underlying sadness in this, tinted with a little bitterness. Do not take me to task if I'm wrong as I read words and condense them to what I would have to feel if I had written them. 'Alone this one woman_one man', is a very strong statement. Take advice from an old man. Sadness will not be forgot but will become liveable with. Bitterness will eat you up. Be strong and safe. Eamon

Sara, he'll be home with you soon! Until then, perhaps you can decorate his room a bit. Thinking of you and sending prayers, Carolyn

Hi Sara, I hope you are well as I'm not sure if you're a Nurse or a patient in the hospital you write of. This is such a warm write expressive of many moments of love. Thank you for sharing! I will pray for your wellness, Lay
