"Fix Her Up"
(Immunotherapy, No. 1)
"Fix Her Up"
Is what she was reading
Across the ward in bed 13.
"Fix Her Up"
(A contemporary novel) -
It was the title that jumped out.
I like that!
It is, here, this morning,
On this ward:
A sincere request,
A demand almost,
An ache, a prayer,
A plea -
All of the above and more.
And sure,
we all need some fixing up -
Here, this morning,
On this ward.
Week after week,
Month after month,
Some new faces
And those oh so familiar ones.
But all of us
Here still,
Hoping, praying for
Some fixing up.
We fix each other up.
We do...
We try to...
We wish we could...
