"Code Blue!"
Baby blue, blue 
baby, nurses crying
Years of yearning, a lifetime's dreams.
Hold me.

Dear Tom, your poetic brevity is urgent, gripping, impactful and mournful. The title and poem work seamlessly together to create a heartbreaking piece! The last line is one to linger over. A potent little package of poetry! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
