(While at the hospital almost seven years ago for the birth of our new grandson, I spoke to a father whose daughter was undergoing chemotherapy. These were his words.)
So I cannot cease,
Nor can rest,
Knowing you’re in pain –
I would do and I
Would undo
So many things now
My child: if I could
Somehow trade
Places with you here —
My heart lies open:
Why can’t I
Save you like I should?
