It's Hard
It's not easy...
It's hard
Listening to your wife ask to go home every day
It's hard
Hearing you ask me the same questions over and over again
It's hard
Watching you walk around searching for your daughter or mother
It's hard
Seeing you lay in bed all day with no visitors for weeks
It's hardest
Watching, seeing or hearing about you take your last breath...
It's harder
When you become my family
It's harder
When I become your family too
It's hardest
Hearing about you passing on
Its's the hardest of all
Watching you take your last breaths...
Usually alone.
