WALKING THROUGH AN AGED HOSPITAL

I was on my way from one place to another
Within an aged hopital one day
And as I did I could not but hear
Will someone give me anything to take the pain away

I turned I looked and saw a once dedicated mother
Who had raised a family now just dumped in here
I walked over to her took her head in my hands
And kissed her as she'd not been for many a year

The look of pain vanished and replaced by a smile
Saying softly oh I've not been kissed like that
Looking into my eyes whispered anther please
Of such I can not within remember or I'll eat my hat

I kissed her once again as this angel earned the right
To be appreciated for all she'd done for home family
She lay back with a smile closed her eyes gently
The pains all gone now dear one how I thank thee

On the way back her bed was empty i asked how come
They said she just passed away smiling ever so
They don't have drugs that can do that anymore
Walking away with tears in eyes and no pain to go
