Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen Poet Blank verse

Hospice

I wonder where you are
I wonder how you are
I wonder if you are
still here still there
holding on to time
the last breath 
the last smile 
the last laugh 
the final time when 
I wonder are you 
comfortable is someone 
caring for you are you bitter 
are you there are you still there 
whole counting grudges 
measuring hatred
I wonder have you seen him
has he entered your being
have you been shown heaven 
have you excepted Jesus Christ
truly excepted Jesus Christ 
have you completed God's purpose
I wonder how you are 
do you remember me us you
are you happy with everything
you set out to with your life
or is there unfinished business 
I wonder is it finished

Harry Horsman August 24, 2022 at 7:26 AM Taking in a poem from last year, and a heartfelt one too, the questions too soon sometimes especially for the young, or was the poem, more personal someone close, either way, excellent to read..
