A nurse <br />(who works with dying patients) <br />introduced us to her friends today: <br /> <br />The bald little girl <br /> with the cancerous eyes <br />The pregnant man <br /> with the kidney tumor <br />The father <br /> eaten away by the tentacles of a mole <br /> <br />Some of us cried when we met them - <br /> felt the need to touch someone, <br /> share the hurt. <br /> <br />Some snickered. <br />(if you never look Death in the face <br />He won't find you)<br /><br />Keith Langdon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/guest-speaker-2/
