Hard day

Hip phone rings is my Brother
tells me I have lost my Mother
her heart was warm but she was old
still it wasn’t time for her to be cold

Hospital wants to know should they go ahead
And provide my wife with a bed
For the surgery we have waited 2 years for
The operation risky but to live necessary
That is also what they told my Mother
6 mouths previous to this call from my Brother

So here I stand with the wife
I don't want to lose another loved ones life
yet the operation needs to be done
for her to live for our son
so I hope that for this wife and mother
I dont' have to call wife's brother
