Caring For a Sick Husband
She could not suppress a shudder,
Her heart beat faster with a flutter.
He lay unmoving in a deep coma,
He should have a drink, a semi-cold soda.
A nurse ran about checking all gadgets
Checking she had all the right tablets.
Time passed slowly she got used to the smell.
Until she left when she heard the time-up bell.
Outside the hospital, she sat in a cafe.
Someone came over with a coffee she had to pay.
Would her husband live or dismally die?
Somehow life will solve itself by and by.
A doctor saw her weeping and sad.
Told her to and rest ner her husband's bed.
