The lady in the bed,
just a picture of mum
She looks just the same
but her spark has gone,
Never emerging from the shadows,
Just waiting to die,
Breaks my heart,
makes me cry

(Rog note : I wrote this in 2001 shortly after my mum had a stroke. Perhaps one of the most despairing pieces I've written. She was in hospital and I didn't think she was coming out again. But she rallied and ended up living back in her own flat for another 7 years. It was difficult but we did have good times again)
