Sara Kendrick Poet Acrostic

Emergency Room

E nter the waiting chamber
M oments seem like hours
E veryone stays away
R est on the gurney
G host of those that died here
E nter and brush the curtains
N ow here then gone
C ause that is all that one sees
Y earning to get answers

R emove to x-ray
O perative answers will come
O pen to options
M aybe

(I wrote this awhile back
nothing new has happened.)
