Hospital Visitors Poem by Adeline Foster

Absolutely right and done with grace and dignity and a little tongue in cheek You made your point very well. I hope you wrote this from your home

I HAD TO READ this particular poem! For the past 6 weeks my closest friend has been in intensive care because of a brain injury. I have been visiting often, but I still feel guilty when I miss a visit and helpless when I'm there. Your poem written from the patient's point of view has cleared the air for me. I don't think I'll feel either guilt or helplessness again. I'll just be present to the moment confident that my visit will provoke the generous thought your patient expresses. What a relief your poem delivers! This poem is what William Stafford called AN INEVITABLE POEM!

Dear Madam, very sweet poem with a feel of comfort. Thanks and Please reply if possible.

A great poem, says what everyone feels if they have the misfortune of an hospital stay.

This poem made me think all the scenes of hospitals and the visitors here in our side of the world...a simple and clear write up, composed gently about an everyday fact of our life!

Lovely. Very well articulated. Thanks for sharing.

when one is sick visitors can make a very big and positive impact on the way to recovery of o sick person.

A very good poem'Thank you for the kind words

Short visits are so very kind, Long visits a little much. A polite way of teaching those who wouldn't know. A nice poem.10/10. Hope you are out of hospital now.

hospital stay cuts us off from our normal life for a few days, there on sick-bed, being attended by our beloved is really rejuvenating.................a short and simple write......
