Bedside Manner

The attends were neatly stacked
on the night table next to the bed
Rails raised, preventing another fall
that previously damaged her head

She never looked forward to tomorrow
but was excited about today
Her lovely son was going on vacation
and stopping in on the way

It has been a year since she last saw him
but he now has a life of his own
Still she wonders if this is the day
when she'll die all alone

Faint memories flash by
recalling the day he was born
How long and painful the ordeal
that left her ragged and torn

Tilting her head to glance at the clock
she realized that he was late
It was at that moment her heart stopped
and dying alone was her fate..................

Never forget who brought you here
