Daddy and HospiceA Poem by Debbie BarryA poem about my initial reaction to the news that my father has been moved to Hospice. Facing imminent death takes your breath away.I thought I was ready To hear the news, Whenever it would come.
I thought I was ready, But I was wrong; The message came too soon.
I thought I was ready To hear the news That his time was drawing near.
I thought I was ready, But when the news came, I couldn't hold back my tears. © 2017 Debbie BarryAuthor's Note
