The Verdict

Three days before the end,he lay quite still Could barely speak nor breathe not eat nor smile I sat alone and swollen was my heart I knew by inward feelings, soon we ‘d part At home were waiting frozen ready meals Quite suitable to my own freezing feel He gazed at me and tried to speak some words “How will you manage,sweet”, I barely heard. The grief I felt ignored by day time nurse And from the Sister, came demonic curse. Exercised in Re Hab until dead And even after that, cruel words they said Resuscitated, left in peace in bed. He lasted 19 hours .The verdict: “Dead.”
