The Hospital Bed

Folder: 
Stories

She sat in the hospital bed

And it's sad to say

that who would have noticed her

if she had wound up dead?

What if she passed away

and no one even cared

Would I still get to heaven

spend an eternity, would I see her there?



It's sad to hear the words that came out of his mouth

It's like he did not see this reality

Of his wife's heart that could have stopped beating

And the words that came out

Made me feel so hurt inside

But I look at myself as well

Really how much better was I?



I was so depressed in my own little mess

I was in my own world with no other care

Even with God here, I felt he was never there

We should have been tossed on the street

But thats why Jesus Came to set us free



I look back on the comments made

It's so hard to try and let the memories fade

Good memories never die

but the pain seems to always be on replay

Forgivness is plagued with disease

And now I've finally found the release



She sat in the hospital bed

oh how my anger inside bled

I was no better even if I didn't say anything at all

Because I showed no remorse or love at all

Actions speak bigger than words

It's something I really need to learn

Something I really need to learn

Author's Notes/Comments: 

About my mom when she was in the hospital and I was all depressed and didn't really care about much. It's strange, I never felt sad or anything in the hospital and I knew right then and there I should have. What I was feeling was wrong dead wrong, and my Father even said some pretty harsh things you should never say to your wife or anyone it was just plain ignorance. She was in the bed after a heart attack. But then I think about it, how much better was I? I dunno think about it. You may get upset at a person saying something harsh, but what about your actions? You don't even have to say anything. Action is what really shows who you are. It's something I need to learn more and more yet!
