white
white was a greeting as i was led into this room
nurses busy yet spending time to care
led me to my wife still asleep at rest
a bag to collect fluid still upon her chest
300 stitches i later learned
to close the incision lower part of neck
so i sat and waited by her sleeping side
with thoughts of could have been or might jus be
floating around within my mind
most of this im sure she will never remember
one more thing i will never forget
and in future should she ask if i love her
get angry if i take time to pause
while remembering times like these
would she understand the hurt i feel
that she would ever doubt?
