Alice

 
As Alice arrives at the Hospital door
a couple smile and say hello.
The girl who is heavy with child
asks which way they should go.
 
 
Alice leans over to reach him
to kiss him for one last goodbye.
A silent tear rolls down her face
as with sadness she begins to cry.
 
 
They’d been together a very long time
thinking they had more years to come.
But illness came and frailty ensued
now their life together is done.
 
 
After some time by his bed, she left
and on hearing a noise she smiled.   
Coming from a nearby maternity suite
it was the cry of a new born child.
 
 
She sees the same couple as before
next morning when collecting his things.
And smiles, as she sees their baby boy
as one life ends, and a new one begins.
