Joseph Healy Poet Free verse

My uncle Bobby

You meet lots of people up there,
The Mater Hospital,
Bobby told me.

Bobby is my friend,
His hospital companion said 
As he , Alan,
Left before him, Bobby,
Returning home 

I'll pray for you,
He said too,
A Christian,
Bobby 
Reported,
You meet all kinds of people up there 

And he meant of course,
Boys and girls,
Men and women,
Doctors and nurses,

But he meant also 
Rangers fans,
And protestants,
And Alan 
Was 
One of them,

A Christian too, to boot.
And over time,
Weeks of illness,
They chatted Wendy 

And 
I ndiaiadh an omlan,
Became friends 

Bobby is my friend,
Alan said,

And Bobby was pleased.

Bobby, you see Alan,
Prays for you too 
Not in a 
Kneel -down -and -pray -before -God 
Kinda thing 

He plays much better Alan 

He tells people 
How 
You promised 
To pray for him

That 
Is Bobby's prayer 
And 
Its a fantastic way to pray,

Isn't it just.
