HEART to HEART

 

                                               HEART to HEART

 

                   Stoic, awaits dawn, eyes wide open

                   years accelerate, just life in motion,

                   compared to past a poignant day,

                   soon prepped, seconds, minutes, no delay.

 

                   Memory fades, angiogram to commence,

                   awakes, surgeon's smile one of success

                   recalls masks, gowns, uniform green,

                   only floating plaque, arteries clean.

 

                   Tick tock, tick tock, relieved, vista clear

                   highlights important moment in one's year,

                   nurses apply skills, with care, dedication,

                   patient appreciates their personal devotion.
