Christmas Eve in Hospital

Christmas Eve in Hospital

I kissed today Mum
Your every wrinkle
But they were too deep
To respond…

Gratitude
In the glow of the Chirstmas tree from Janek your son
Was expressed just by your eyes

Wise
Loyal
Loving

But your living hand
Suddendly was able to hold the snow-white wafer
And the might beamed from the Bethlehem stable
Directed it to my beloved children

In silence
Profound
But richest in words

And bed-ridden in hospital
With no hay-lined table
Also this year you hosted
This special supper

Hospital at Giżycko, 24 December 2007
