Why - Kaela McWherter

Why

Into the lifeless hospital I crept
Wandering slowly as if in a somber trance.
What could I have said at a time like that
Because truly nothing would help and even
Heart-felt words would have felt like broken glass.
I walked in and saw my friends and parents of two, though
Soon to be one after
A mere twenty-two days
Sitting and staring off looking for
Hope or something to make it
Better. We sat there a long time
Silent.
After a long while it was time to head home
Knowing I would keep this moment with me forever.
