Hell on earth is an ICU waiting room
Sadness, waiting for some news
So many families in limbo
Every time the door opens
So many hopeful faces looking up
Doctor or nurse asking for a family
We all know the fear and anticipation they are feeling
We feel it too
Hoping the best for them
Wishing that they did not have to suffer like this too
Fathers pacing
Momma's hushing babies
Sisters staring off into space
Brothers fidgeting
Wives trying not to cry
Husbands looking stoic
Sons and daughters holding hands
Discarded cold coffee cups
Old news papers
Ragged magazines
Hearing the cold blue called
Hoping and praying its not yours
Stretching,pacing, wringing hands
Endless hell on earth
ICU waiting room..............
