SEPARATED BY A CURTAIN

2 Beds in a hospital room

Separated by a curtain

2 Lives drawn together

By their health issues

Learning to cope with the other

In what ails us

Whether it be often trips to the bathroom

Or physical therapy for a pained leg

Doctors and nurses come in to help

In their own time

2 Lives meeting at this specific

Moment in Life

Never to know each other again

But to come together with a connection

Of 2 Souls seeing each other at their worst,

Hoping for the best

Conscience of each other and their visitors

Loved by many who come to sit

In this room

Separated by a curtain
