coming up on six weeks

it's almost been 6 weeks

6 weeks in an ICU bed

6 weeks with tubes everywhere

6 weeks no food, no talking, no nothing

yet in these past 6 weeks

she's made such strides, come so far

touched so many hearts

and been the focus of so many fears and tears

and prayers and love

such an outpouring of concern and compassion

you've all been so loving and wonderful

and yet, she's been there, in that bed

for 6 weeks...
