________________
This Time
A clock ticks on the wall,
A bed is sent rolling across the floor.
Panic rises in the hospital
As oxygen is needed more and more.
Sitting at home, hospital or office
Helplessness hangs heavy.
Phone calls come,
But inner strength remains steady.
The world, separate,
But virtually together;
Accompanies and cares
To get further and further.
Things happen,
That cannot be lightly passed.
But humans take them,
And persevere till the last.
Before this,
We cared.
But not as much
As could’ve been shared.
Now we realise -
Or hopefully at least -
The importance of what we have
Till now, missed.
