Waiting for Her

Waiting
with other strangers
for the word to come

The doctor’s face
her smile, telling me
all had gone well

Waiting
with the others
that I could see her

Her face
her hand
resting in my own

Waiting
with her
now in her room

Time
to rest and heal
no longer alone

Waiting
until I had to leave
go home to the girls

Same as before
back at home
except she was not there

Waiting
to return to her
unable to sleep
