I sit by her bed in the hospital
Watching her in her troubled sleep,
I sit there and wonder,
Will she ever awake.
I think back,
Back to those times
When walking the Dales.
The beauty all around us
As we walk up those hills.
I think of that time,
That time when we went from Cray
And walked up Buckden Pike.
Near the top we saw it,
Saw the remembrance mound,
With the fox looking at us,
The fox who saved the airman’s life.
As we reached the top we were stunned,
Stunned at the view,
Still in my mind this day.
Nature’s glory shone,
Shone down the vale.
That beauty enhanced by her,
My loved one,
My loved one by my side,
As she has been all my life.
I sit by her bed in the hospital
Watching her in her troubled sleep,
I sit there and wonder,
Will she ever awake.

A poignant write Gold, and especially at this season. Thinking of you all.
Thank you Orchi, much appreciated.

Thank you Alita - so kind.
I am deeply moved by the writing. How lucky she is to have someone like you to love her, take care of her.
Thank you mandm, that love has been so strong for very many years and has never faltered.
You sit by her bedside, and the beauty that was tear up your eyes. That is love indeed.
Thank you Suresh, yes that love is very strong.
Andy,
You had tears flowing down your face as you were writing this ...
I had tears flowing down my face as I read it!
It reminded me of the night my mom decided to give up her earthly existence and let her spirit fly to join my dad’s! I sat next to her and her last words to me were, “Let me go. Don’t cry. Just sit next to me. Everything will be alright!” I fell asleep with my head next to hers as she quietly slipped away! I feel cheated in the sense that we never said goodbye! That is what I constantly think about...and the tears flow uncontrollably!
I know if she were here she would tell me to stop the crying and to get over it!
I do try to listen, but it’s not easy!
My love to Joyce and to you!
I do think of her a lot!
~Laura~
