Stacy's Mum
She had never felt so lonely before,
was there no news yet, she'd a need to be sure,
waiting as time so reluctant tocked by,
like a lost child she sat and wondered why...
The surgeons were busy giving their all,
a broken hip to mend, such a task isn't small,
three hours they had said would see them done,
all the while she sat and thought of her mum...
Such memories that flood by fill her mind,
those of her childhood with mother so kind,
more when the moments were of great upset,
and times when she played with girls she'd met...
Time for a drink, it makes a hole in the time,
some news will come soon and all will be fine,
she'll sit by her mum squeezing hands with a tear,
so glad it is over, so very pleased to be near....
