Deep- deep anguish,
Life's thread under tension.
Disease destroying vitality,
Life in precarious balance.
Surgeon's skillful service,
Will his life be saved?
The anguish of uncertainty,
Cripples even the brave.
Waiting – waiting still,
Words are lost in grief's fog.
The hope of love yet remains,
Nothing else is left, but God.
Oh the numbness of helplessness,
The silent agony of anxiety,
The anguish of uncertainty,
Lord, dear Lord, have mercy.
