Clothes and rushed out the
Door taking my half-eaten supper
With me.
I finished my food as I stopped at
The red lights on my way.
When I reached the hospital I sped to
ICU where my friend was waiting.
We sang "Jesus Loves Me."
We prayed.
We hugged till it hurt and cried.
I looked my wounded treasured
Friend in the eyes and said,
"You're one of us now."
And as Carol begins her journey of
Widowhood, I will walk it
With her.
