"A mother's love is made in heaven." Quote Written By Poet
She was a young and beautiful bride,
then her handsome husband died.
The fast car came out of nowhere,
there was nothing left but prayer.
Life was about to take her on a wild ride,
but she could not go and hide.
A precious baby girl was born,
she was told to be happy and do not mourn.
For now she is dressed in pink and is nameless,
lying in the hospital crib blameless.
Loving adopted parents would come,
and save her as she sucked her thumb.
Somethings can start out bad and end up good,
our new name is parenthood.

christmas, jesus,
Mild sun of winter
Spreads a love touch everywhere
Of happy Christmas
In the slum a child
Smiles in a red hibiscus
Petals of Jesus
Blankets offered to
Poor people standing in rows
Jesus in rainbow
In the hospital
Life smiles in bruise blood and pus
Footfalls of Jesus
Upon the sweet grass
Jesus smiles in drops of dew
Lovely Christmas hue
In Christmas flavour
To all poetry soupers
A merry Christmas

they're rolling him away
in a wheelchair
down the hospital hall
out of my reach
cutting the cord
promising to bring him back
they're rolling him away
his future in their hands
leaving me in silence
alone with my fears
wallowing as i wait
with nothing but hope

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sat beside his hospital bed holding his hands: rough hands reflecting a soft heart and naked soul. They were plumber’s hands—masterpieces, artwork built of a lifetime of stoicism, patience, and undying love for his family and his profession. These were my father’s hands.
his hands
strong and callous
they were industrious
grasping, digging, fixing, caring
his tools

"Message of Love"
Hi Poets, Ron here for my wife.
Linda-Marie, or Sweetheart, as many of you know her, insisted I
post a message of holiday love to everyone.
She is in the hospital right now for several issues but always
thinking of others. Love is a very important part of her life and our
daily lives so she is sending lots of love to everyone this most
cherished of holidays and holy days.
Please spread this love to all throughout Life.
Wishing everyone a ..
"MERRY CHRISTMAS" & "HAPPY NEW YEAR" * * *
Thanks for being great friends and extended family these many years.
Love, Hugs, Kisses, Joy, Happiness, Prosperity, Peace, Health, Love,
Ron & Sweetheart.

Fifteen years ago when my father died
To the hospital I carried him that ill fated day
The staff was caring for him so by his side I could not abide
Then very swiftly to surgery he was taken away
As I was eating, God spoke to me in spirit and I felt daddy brush as he went away

baby, love, mother son, , cute,
Those sapphire eyes and kissable cute cheeks -
I held you and I knew I was in love.
The moment I'd been dreaming of for weeks
was perfect, and it came from God above!
Home from the hospital, how our life changed!
Though challenging at first, it was worthwhile
to have our sleeping patterns rearranged.
What precious memory was your first smile!
And now you've grown. We're many miles apart.
How wonderful you are, my darling boy!
Do not forget you're always in my heart.
My precious son, you are my pride and joy.
The loving feelings that I have for you
will stay with me, dear son, my whole life through.

absence, dad, father, father daughter, graduation,
A little baby girl
not even one year old
without her daddies arms
the nights felt very cold
daddy I cant breath
so to the hospital they go
mommy held me down
where was my daddy though?
16 years had gone
my dad was mostly there
but that morning he left
I said I didn't care
for two years I barely saw him
just talked to him now and then
but still I believed in him
and I'll choose to believe again
My graduation came
he promised me he'd come
but when I walked across the stage
I only saw my mom
Why weren't you there daddy?
I still believe in you
I love you daddy and always will
please just show you love me too

happy, love, birth, me, cousin,
Lying in hospital was visiting time
My cousin walked in with a box so fine
Handed it over said it was for me
To open it when I needed company
The box said Teddy Bears Factory
Inside was Ted’s whole story
His birth certificate is complete
Many things including birth date
Was dressed with hat and scarf
Looked so funny, made me laugh
Specs sat on end of his nose
Looking ready to compose
But he was so good to cwtch *
Instantly loved him so much
Such thoughtfulness I wont forget
My Ted is my best mate
Helped me to recover quickly
My magic pill when I’m sickly
Took 29 years for a Ted so special
Came with love of highest level
*Cwtch is welsh for cuddle

love,
She said, “Woo and wow me, the best that you can”
with tubes stuck deep in each arm;
He said, “I’d love to, my Valentine,
but I’d hate to set off the alarm.”
Valentine’s Day in a hospital bed
doesn’t paint a romantic scene,
but the love that he shared by just being there
was the most that she’d ever seen.
Fifty Valentine’s Days had passed them by
since the night of their wedding vows,
and every year, to them it was clear,
that their love had grown deeper somehow.
She closed her eyes with a smile on her face
and the hand that he held fell weak;
He squeezed her with one last embrace,
then kissed her goodbye on the cheek.

Dear friends
I'm sorry I'm not here lately,my life is very busy,with many new happenings,
yet I'm still here with you in spirit.I just want to share this great miracle with you.
My daughter Christina was born last Monday,27th of August at 11.30PM,
following a long difficult labour. I was out of hospital on Friday,
and now getting accustomed to my new role as a Mommy.
I would love to thank so much each one of whom kept me and my family in prayer
during these last months .....I shall keep you in my prayers too
Much love-Charmaine

animals, death, health, husband, life, loss, lovelove,
Checked the small view from hospital room I did
Doing this deed was just a simple thing
View top of trees but bottom half woods hid
Windows in building right, sun_ clouds mirroring
How many persons from car wreck slain
Thinking continues noise from hall distress
View draws me in_to outside once again
Are the crows high in nest now comfortless
Will my love whom on my bosom kept
Be kept safe_God will heal I am quite
Sure, even though now the time light has crept
The deciding factor will be tonight
At our home will he come once again to face
All the love and happiness in this place

death, love,
Her husband died before her on his hospital bed.
"Oh my God no!" were the last words that she said.
She suffered a cardiac arrest and soon she too was dead.
This true story tore my soul apart.
She didn't die of a heart attack. She died of a broken heart.

Dead autumn leaves my shroud of love decayed
Then winter snow my frozen coated heart
I built my lonely hall, with walls so tall,
Then hid deep down, beneath the ground sans sound
This lone, which I called home was so forlorn
Hospital hell, my self-made get well cell
Dried clay forest fires flames dance dark descends
Light strikes new roots waterfalls asunder
Dawn cracks in dark, new buds of light shoots through
My thawed out heart, it dares to dream new hope
I hum a song with guilty cautious joy
My eyes smile bright of peaceful open tunes
Spring snowdrop crops to heaven clouds protrude
And Summer showers, bring rainbow beams alive

Their trying to tell you something,
It’s being shown on the screen,
It’s being told in music, ding ding,
But you were indoctrinated by thirteen.
Mtv shows you Masonic ritual,
Flashing symbols in your third eye,
Leave you in crisis, needing spiritual hospital,
You’ve had an overdose of an intoxicating lie!
It’s time to break the spell, turn off the T.V.
With all its degrading, intoxicated role models,
How anyone finds this acceptable for children, spent on me,
Maybe this is why society is fuelled by self gratifying morals.

She wears nice clothes and waits for the next thing to happen.
No more hospital beds or quarterly syndromes to cry.
Now that you’re gone - she's divine and she's fine.
Rags and traps are washed from the tears you drop.
And she wears them in a ballroom as a beautiful red gown dress...
Before you tell her to stop.
Waiting for the dark man to dance with her.
Oh, what a beautiful and sorrow pain that flows.
Fresh, new, assimilated.
Lovely ballerina.
White lily.
Timid young man.
They’re in love in the starry night.
Admiring the sky together.
Wondering if this time they’re right.
Bright eyes.
Sweet smile.
And their affection can finally climb and shine.

Tommy’s heart lay motionless,
surrounded by ice-cubes in an ice-box.
“We will be together again!” Christine assured his heart.
The van she drove raced swiftly to the hospital,
as fast as sun god Ra’s fiery chariot. After the heart transplant, she wondered
whether her lover would still recognize her in his new body.

From hospital bed
To dinner date and a rose
Your eyes held my heart
On valentine day
Our rose bush blooms crimson buds
Blushing memory
The stars shine tonight
I look up and you wink back
Your bright eyes hold me

Song in the wind
Gentle reminder:
Rain through bamboo trees
Chirpy delight
Instant enlightenment;
Heavy heart uplifted
Postcard from somewhere
Far far away:
Greetings from long journeys
Old photograph
Faded with old times;
Ancient memories linger
My mother's gaze
My father looks;
Picture of the dead
Pain taunts
Sufferings preside;
Soon liberation sublime
Hospital visit
A sick relative warded;
Healing family support
Two yellow birds
Canaries on wood ledge;
Sing of fond love

How Young We Were
My wife’s final day she lost the bout
At the hospital I collapsed my legs gave out
They took me into the emergency
Nothing wrong they said with me
They couldn’t see my heartache
They couldn’t feel my heartbreak
At night when I go to bed
I twist and turn with thoughts in my head
Some nights to sleep is hard for me
Thinking of my wife I wish I could see
On my neck is my wife’s wedding band
I clutch it tightly in my hand
My body is tired and with some pain
Why do I go on what’s to gain
I wish I new the end to my life
I miss so much not being with my wife
I look at pictures how young we were
That’s how I wish to be again with her

DEAREST CAT,
How much I shall miss thee,
While I am in hospital with a smashed knee!
And painful broken thigh.
Then off to rehab for a very long time.
I’d love to touch yout silken Calico fur,
And hear your midnight, mellow purrs.
On Christmas ~I shall not be back.
Nor watch with you Santa, with boots,so black.
I plan to keep writing, Irene my girl.
Dreaming of the day, to touch your curls.
Meanwhile, Elena and Eddie will visit thee.
And, set up for you, a beatous, golden tree.
Love,
Mommy

depression, love, me, time,
I set here in this hospital bed,
With all this time to dread.
With all that was said...
i stop to stare
But look away instead
When will you see?
Balemia is what i am,
Balemia is what i'll be
If you cant help me no one will,
Can't you see this pain that i'm in
Its hard to let you go,
With all this time that we've spent
You walk in on me,
With my finger down my throat.
On you're words that you choked
You said you cant stand me,
And that there was nothing left to say.
Cant you see?
Balemia is what i am,
Balemia is what i'll be.
I love you for you,
Why dont you love me for me?

like brokeback mountain,
