My Valentines Day
This Valentines day I think most would agree
Was not a good one for my family.
As we awoke that morning, we all got a scare
As we found my husband gasping and fighting for air.
In the E.R. as soon as we arrived,
The Dr. Informed us he'd been oxygen deprived.
The nurse handed me a paper and said, "we need your consent.
The only way to save him is to put him on a vent."
It's been two weeks now and still no change.
Not having him around feels so very strange.
He's the love of my life. My heart and my soul.
Without him my heart is just a black hole.
I sit next to him, quietly holding his hand without a word.
Just desperately hoping that my prayers have been heard.
Valentines day
