I sit on the end of a bed
waiting, waiting
I wait on the end of a bed
watching, watching
I watch at the end of a bed
listening, listening
I listen at the end of a bed

I sit at the end of this bed
waiting for something to happen
watching my favorite person
listening for the words I wish
to hear
I sit at the end of this bed

Well it looks like you found some words, I too have sat there or rather stood, it was my grandma and I was 5 so I didn't quite know what was goin on. I still remember her face though when she looked at me with tubes in her nose and the light coming through the window.

Thank you for reading this!! It was so sad that day, she didn't really recognize me.......but we had to laugh when she tried to tell me how much i had grown, and told me I was "fat"!

Thank you so much. Never give up hope. My godmother was the person i wrote this about, and she died about a month ago. I know that your loved one will be able to pull through it!!!

I'm sitting there now and I think you captured what it's like perfectly. Great work, though sad, great.

Check out mine sometime?
