What a Night
It was darkness in the middle of the night
Darkness with a small night light
Was I dreaming of the twilight
All I remember — I was falling then hit the floor
And then there was blood, red, red all about
I became alert something had happened I had no doubts
I woke my husband trying to be polite
I need help to get up I know its the middle of the night
Red red red I must have looked a fright
He never wakes up but he quickly turned on the light
And there we were in Emergency at Dominican
Thus a once quiet night began
With staples and stitches and instruction to go
What happened and why I still do not know
Meds or a dream perhaps, a wish to fly
The desire to be in the midst of starlight in the sky
Hopefully I’ll be awake and standing if I give the stars another try
