Don't Bother VisitingA Poem by Krista HarrisJust a random tidbit from my grandmothers most recent trip to the E.R.I Knew I shouldn't have gone out for a change Upon my return, there was a message from the hospital My new home away from home Grandma's there again! One more hole in her "frequent visitor" punchcard and she gets a free valium prescription
I immediately call her "What happened Grandma?" "Oh I accidentally overdosed on insulin" "I'll be right there" "Don't even bother visiting" "Why not?" "There are sick people here! Wouldn't want you to get sick. We both know you've got problems enough as it is" I head over there anyway, since I don't think the ambulance that brought her there will take her home I wouldn't trade her conditional-unconditional love for anything She gets in my car and the nagging begins I smile and say "I love you too" © 2009 Krista Harris
