Somewhere in an E.R.

In the emergency room
She starts to assume
It’ll be okay
They can’t take her Sam away
If only she had known
How weak his heart had grown
She starts to realize
That this is his demise
The fact she has to face
No longer they will embrace
A doctor walks through the door
She can’t take it anymore
She starts crying
She knows her Sam is dying
All the years they shared
No pain can be compared
The kids she has to call
Five of them in all
She’s brought to his hospital bed
She kisses him on the forehead
She says her last good-byes
Then her Sam dies

Some explanation...I work at a hospital and a woman asked me if she could use the phone. She made her call to work to say she wouldn't be in the following day and it had hit her that her husband wasn't going to make it through his heart attack.

It's so sad, it made me think of my grandfather...he died of his 5th heart attack 6 months ago...
Very emotional poem.

A good poem about some of the sad things that happen everyday in the world.
