I was a patient in the hospital

Not suffering but laid aside awhile

Unable for a time to share the life
That other people live, and happy yet
For I had time to think on things at last
And contemplate the fears that now lay past.

I was a patient in the hospital, Not suffering but laid aside awhile. Unable for a time to share the life, That other people live, and happy yet, For I had time to think on things at last, And contemplate the fears that now lay past. Poem by Mary Dawson Jeffries UK.
