Lying in bed,
unable to move,
only able to see and hear,
her friends worried faces,
in that hotel room,
doctors asking her to move,
but something is wrong,
she is frightened,
not sure what's going on,
Next thing she knows,
she is in another bed,
at the hospital,
not remembering,
even though she was conscious,
how she got there,
IV in her hand again,
Campus life pastor at her side,
far from home,
Would she be alright?
What if she had not woken up?
The worst part was,
seeing the fearful faces,
they were so unsure,
what to do,
she felt so,
scared,
unsure,
fearful,
her parents had always been at the bed side,
but they weren't there,
to hold their little girl's hand,
they would know,
they would be there,
telling her it would be ok,
Lying there,
full of what-ifs,
IV in hand,
so weak,
on that cold,
hospital bed.
