Today is the day before the big day that's next
When it all becomes real rather than just reading of text
I'll sit in a room, read, worry, and pace
Avoid other's eyes with a fixed smile on my face
Wait for the surgeon to come out and let me know
Is my love doing ok, did you vanquish the cancer foe
Can I hold her hand and touch her cheek
How long will it take, this hospital week
