Unexpectant Emergencies Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Impatience of youth and young adults, as they carry on through
daily routines, never seeming to have enough time to just BE
with family.
Harried by schedules they make up themselves, never able to do
everything they want to as other things come up unexpectedly
changing their plans.
Important things, like a mother going in for emergency surgeries
time after time, taking away from a normal life and throwing
them into turmoil, trying to work, care for a family and be
there every moment to hold a mother's hand as she lies sleeping
in a coma on life support.
Holding hearts in hands, touching souls so grievously as
watching their Mom fighting for her life under a doctor's care.
Life at a standstill, thinking about an entire life with her
and what if she doesn't make it through.
A life-altering moment in this young adult's life, changing
outlooks on life and close family, forever.
