I Will Be Home

Contributed by jennguy41 on Thursday, 19th November 2009 @ 09:37:17 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

I can't explain how this feels right now...
Strange how tiny things seem so large
and they can change so quickly.

One moment you have years...
The next minute you have days,
and they are numbered maybe
by only minutes.

I can do nothing but watch and wait.
Watch doctors do things that are much to late.
Being done only to appease the family.

I say STOP but I am trying to be the
voice for her and the strong one for them.
My plight is that I know what she wants
and I will do these things for her.

I sit here in this hospital room and watch her.
Doing anything to keep her comfortable.
That is my goal. She is without pain now.
Listening to the songs we always sang.
She seems at peace.

No.No.No. Do not turn her, that will
only speed up her demise. Just give
her more pain meds.
Her brow is furrowed, so she is in pain.
After the pain meds her brow is
no longer furrowed, ahh she is better now.

Close the curtain she has been gone now
for ten minutes.
No one else knows but me
because I felt her pulse stop
when I was holding her hand and
telling her she has permission to go be
with God and have no more pain.

Good-bye my sweet sister, just
wait for me.
For one day too...
I will be home.

Hi,

Tender and heartfelt and sad - and so reminiscent
of an episode in my own life.

I feel your loss. Well written.

Tommy
