He sat there by her bedside

He strives to remember a long forgotten moment

Memories had slipped away

Stress had begun to overwhelm him

He fell asleep by her bedside

He stood there by her bedside

She got up and held his hand

She led him to were his memories were lost

He had small glimpses of his past

When they splashed in the creek,

Walked the dog around the lonesome park,

Cooked dinner for a party.

They then traveled back triumphantly to her bedside.

He awoke by her bedside

Excitement had overwhelmed him

“She had walked, she had talked!”

He glanced over to her lying in bed.

He rested his hand on hers while lying on her bedside

A pale faced beauty

Soft hands worn with age

Each gray hair shimmering with knowledge

She was his his love, his life, and his beloved wife

He knew the fate that would befall her

But until the end he sat by her side

                                                            He sat there by her hospital bed.
