Infusion Room: Poem

My wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer back in July of 2017.  As of this writing we are still in the battle of chemo. What was supposed to be a four or five month treatment plan turned into something more. Everything went wrong in 2017. One day in the infusion I got this inspiration to write this little poem.

Title: Infusion Room

By: Bruce Hackmann

Sad faces

Solemn faces 

Contemplation

Examination

Bags with fluid

Cords connected to bodies

Mediation 

Reflection

Beeping noises

Sounds of silence 

Consideration

Deliberation

Heads held downcast

Heads held straight forward

Introspection 

Observation

Many shall make it

Others don’t know

Self-examination

Rumination

Visitors 
Loved ones

Illumination 
Determination  

Nurses

Assistants 

Investigation 

Exploration 

Patients lying there

Minds wondering where are we going

Sorrow 

Despondent

Proclamation 

Declaration 

Someone rings the bell

Happiness fills your heart

Then you stop

And think, about your own situation
