I wrote this after I had visited my nan in hospital. Although after a while she was well enough to return home I couldn't stop thinking about some of the other patients who never had any family or friends to visit them. My heart really went out to them, It makes me sad to know that some of them actually DO have family yet they never visit. Most Grandparents like to talk about their families to other patients and nurses so I think it would be a small gift to give back when they are ill if they could receive at least one visit. It really does make their day to know they are not forgotten and are cared about. All kids love nans and grandads and if they are lucky to still have them more time should be made to go and see them. I really do hope I havn't angered or annoyed anyone by voicing my opinion, it just upsets me when my own nan is ill and I know that one day she will not be here. Anyway this short poem is written from my heart. She sits on the chair by the hospital bed with a blanket draped over her knees She stares at the book she has already read and thinks back to the man of her dreams How she wished he was here to take all of her fears and tell her that things will get better But not a visitor in sight from morning till night not a card and not even a letter. Sick and alone wishing she could go home even though there is no body there In her own comfy bed and the thoughts in her head how she longed to have someone to care But all family has passed and left her till last How she wishes that she had gone first Life can be unkind as the elderly find when the only friend left is the nurse.
