Dreams In Intensive Care



You sleep like a child,
So innocent and sweet,
Dreams of youth and love
Pink roses in your cheeks.

The doctors told us to chose
To tell them what was best
We meant for you to live
It�s too soon for your final rest.

We hooked you up to tubes
We didn�t even ask
Was this your final wish?
It was your only chance.

So now you lay so still
A broken doll we can�t mend
I fear you�ve many miles to go
To find your peaceful end.

I wrote this when Mom was in ICU
and they wanted us to decide whether we
wanted surgery done.
