CONDOLENCE & CONGRATULATIONS

Student midwife - last call of the day.
She must regret being sent my way;
she called and greeted with “Congratulations!”
Too late for calls and confirmations.
Blood test done after a case of spotting,
told that bad luck had come a-knocking.
My patient file had not yet updated,
so instead of condolence, I was congratulated.
For a moment I think it was just a mistake,
or it’s all a bad dream and I’m about to wake.
Instead, she doesn't know what to say.
All the hope… fades away.
Well done, good job, the award goes to me:
Crossed the finish line of my first pregnancy.
