bare foot nurses

nurses in bare feet
stomp down the ward
I hear their firm steps
and want to lift them
from their duties

hospital card

pretty cards come
blue birds in a blue tree
they reach the sick man
they arrive just for me

waiting

How awkward the day can be
waiting around
hanging around
for we don't know

Life makes us wait
if we're not ready
or can't see

It's hard to wait
when we hear the world knocking
but not sure why
or where from
How awkwardly we wait
