Death


圖片: WIT 的DVD封面


昨日,遇到十幾年以來,首次DOT的個案。

以往,幾番與祂擦身而過,驚鴻一瞥後,在心中畏懼其威力,也暗自感謝老天恩典!

亦曾,懇求祂稍許寬容期限,只因凡人皆需要有階段性心理調整,方能接受祂的任意來臨!

這次,雖早知是一場醫療冒險,但眼見祂帶走來到世上只有45天的小生命,三個多小時的努力,徒勞無功,目睹祂的全貌,是如此殘酷!

親友們悲傷。同僚們錯愕。團隊們疲憊。

下班後,這首古詩浮現在腦海,在電影WIT中看過,讀過,想過。

現在,該是用它的時候,給小寶寶,給傷痛的媽媽,也給已經盡全力的夥伴們。

"Death

Be not proud

Though some have called thee mighty and dreadful

For thou art not so

For those whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow

Die not, poor death

Nor yet canst thou kill me

Thou art slave to Fate

Chance, kings, and desperate men

And dost with poison, war and sickness dwell

And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well

And better than thy stroke

Why swell'st thou then?

One short sleep past

We wake eternally

And death shall be no more,

Death thou shalt die"
