The Pastor's Wife

Went to the hospital Visiting elderly One in ICU...sedated Respirator loudly Running providing life Life hovering between This world and another that is Invisible not seen Just a touch was all I Could give and a whispered Prayer for her recovery Left feeling that I failed Went to see another All the tubes removed now Preparing to be transported To rehab will make it how Joined hands, joined in prayer Forming a circle care Knowing God loves and hears..feel fears Sensing his need for rare Assurance of God's love And power feeling lost To empower him with great strength I need to feel God most Tommorrow will be new New day for me and you But for these two each day hovers Between this world and another

Well, regardless of whether it got entered or not, he inspired a touching poem from you. You are a pastor's wife, right? I greatly admire you. I am too restless to ever be the kind of person you are. People like Mother Teresa and Ghandi, I can only look at them and think oh, my gosh, I can't imagine myself being that self-sacrificing. God bless people like you in the world. Luv,Andrea
