A week ago today Lives were changed- An accident by every sense of the word Has a man in ICU- The women that loves him unconditionally Sits in the waiting room Getting updates- His two boys stay at home Or with a friends Not understanding the hate they have- Not understanding why their Dad Lays in a coma. Every tiny sign Isn't so tiny in anybody's eyes- She cried when he opened his eyes And nodded his head When they told him where he had been- And nodded again When they said The woods were all around him. I sat in the waiting room Doing what I could. Walking back to me car It slapped me ten fold. Perspective- My problems are small And my whining and complaining Are so wrong- My heart may have been broken And I might not have my soulmate, But those are such dinky problems And juvenile, in a way To let them get to me. My life's just fine Now that I finally got some perspective.
Reason for writing:
My cousin's husband was in a severe accident about a week ago, and he's not in good shape. It made me realize how pety my problems are.
Birth sign: Gemini
