Poetic Dan

Lois Bernadette

Waiting beside the hospital bed

Knowing I may not see you again

Your eyes have opened

But you did not respond

As I  try to find the words

Only a few come, \"it will be okay\" 

With a tear down my face

Wish there was more I could do

You close them drifting back off too

Sleep now and rest easy

Every time you cough 

I\'m here to help ease it

This is not good bye 

Just something new

So for now I\'ll say

See you again soon.
