Wonder how it feels
to die every moment you live
while you watch
your loved one die slowly.
Wonder how it feels
to do the best you can
to see that smile
one more time
Wonder how it feels
to watch helplessly
the loved one spewing blood
in agony
Wonder how it feels
to see the empty bed
to collect all those memories
and stuff them in bags
Wonder how it feels
to watch the army salute
the uniform and the flag
paying the last respects
My friend faced all this
as did her sons
while I watched teary eyed
Wondering how it felt.
