Heart

Thoughts and memories, 
Of things I hold dear, 
My sister my mother, 
Father I love you, wish I was near. 
Inside I quiver, 
The tears come and go, 
Hospital to hospital, 
With the doctors that know. 
Congestive fluid buildup, 
Heart not keeping with the need, 
Failure will be imminent, 
Scares me to my knees. 
Me I wish I could be helpful, 
On this journey you are on, 
The moments shared together, 
Inside I'll always be fond.
