the tired faces 136

The tired faces
The people gathered
All wanting for news
Of patients in ICU
Some came in the morning
The waking hours in the night
They couldn't sleep thinking of it
The waiting list and those in ICU
A group of family
All the way from Sabah
The old woman still in ICU
Under monitoring for brain surgery
The faces of sadness
The unknown factors throwing in
The family talked together.............
The surgeon still hasn't decided
Once the husband cried
Thinking of the ordeal of his wife
The eldest daughter comforted him
The emotion ran high in the waiting room
Then there was this man and his wife
The nurse followed him carrying his disposal unit
Together they went into the only toilet in the waiting room
All 3 gone into it where the toilet is small for 3 persons
The man looked healthy to me
Walking upright feeling good talking to his wife
I couldn't understand why 3 persons must go in
At least his wife should stay behind
The many tired faces
Early morning arrived
Bringing food and drinks
Waiting in the room
