Your heart is offered
Rawest beauty towards my grief
Sacred proof of love.
| |
She's taken from me
My anguish fills emptiness
Where is normalcy?
|
I wake with a start
My hand reaches for her place
Soft pillow--not she.
| |
Awake to the sun
Trying to send joy, birds sing
All the notes sound flat.
|
I was in a pair
Passing our unconscious time
More notice required.
| |
Memory is all
I do now hold in my mind
Dear mind stay with me.
|
The cats need feeding
Are they as close in feeling
When I walk by them?
| |
Entropy occurs
How ever did chores get done?
The burden unfolds.
|
Seeking diversion
Could it ever be the same?
Much is now mundane.
| |
A deep breath required
The head becomes clearer for
A moment. Then gray,
|
Cry out for the souls
Of all those who care for life
May they work in peace.
| |
Caretakers are gold
Helping those left by others
They know the reward.
|
A reverent nun
Selfishly earning her joy
She is thus fulfilled.
| |
Altruism is
A hero's work to save life
And filling ego.
|
The care of others
Nursing is unforgiving
Some stay to the end.
| |
Operating room
Sterile chamber with some blood
Lives are surely saved.
|
Many instruments
Utilized in procedures
Tally all--then sew!
| |
The recovery
Diet, exercise, good care
Life renewed again.
|
For continued health
Do not give up good practice
Easy as one goes.
| |
Achieving long life--
Caretakers and medicine
Return to one's ken.
