Helpless, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @brianrrs37 on Twitter )

I know that feeling
All too familiar
Waiting in the exam room
With my late mother
No it was not me
Going through it
But she was my pillar
To hear her say
That final time
“I don’t want to go further”
DNR orders are devastating
Even to the observer.
