Listen to poem:

Been and Gone

Like a never fading sun in the sky.
the hospital light shines down as I lie.
And you cant help  but wonder will I die.
Why me, why now, is it OK for a man to cry ?.

When the blues and twos sing your name.
You wonder who is to blame.
and who put my name, in the frame.
And you soon become a number in the great health game.

A crystal ball is what i need
Has I cant see a rosy future as been guaranteed.
and I wonder if I should just concede
that life as been and gone with such speed.
