Thinking Outside A Hospital Room Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Watching evening come upon earth here in Phoenix, sun still
shining, glancing off of buildings standing erectly down-
town.

Such a surreal landscape, starkly staring back at me while
sitting here in this hospital room at Banner Samaritan
Hospital.

People traveling home from work, their day being done, look-
ing forward to spending time with their families, sitting
down to dinner, talking about their day.

Loving and caring filling everyone's hearts, children going
to bed, relaxed and knowing that they're being loved through-
out the night and all through life.
