Dress Gown

Dress gown
 

She wears her dress gown
and trying to sneak away
So the nurse won't see her
 Texting her friend in the USA

She’s tells him on Thursday
She will no longer be here
Moving to papworth hospital
  In cambridgeshire

She knows he loves her
And it makes her feel good
But she never tells him
Maybe one day she would

And though they never met
They are very close at heart
They live in different countries
Millions miles apart
 
from her bed  thru the window
A seagull builds a nest
 She smiles and falls asleep
Laying her weary head to rest
 
She makes fun about
 The food that she gets
Then gets sad
When she thinks about her pets

How he wants to hug her
But don’t know if he ever will
Like in some sad movies
Where the dreams are never fill

 And he’s so proud of her
She is his hero
And he will always love her
As long there is a tomorrow

She’s in the operating room
As Thursday comes along
Her green eyes asleep
In her dress gown

And he’s waiting patiently
To hear that she is alright
Praying that god will
 Watch over her tonight
