     Prayers for my brother are greatly appreciated now.  Thank you for all 
                             your kind thoughts and emails...


Hearing the words "touch and go,"
I sink into a quagmire of despair
Slipping and sliding on tears of fear
In a swamp of memories

I've but one brother, one sister
Artie's Covid battle unleashed ills 
Pandora's Box opened to pneumonia
COPD and emphysema

Now the reaper knocks upon his door
I pray he does not answer
Separated by a thousand miles
I long to see his smile again

To hear his laugh just one more time
I'd follow hope's long road anywhere
Wrap him in the comfort of prayer
Use my shield of love to protect him

His chances tenuous at best
Anxiety chases dreams away
Lord, let me embrace him once more
Before You carry him home

       This poem was written by a beautiful lady, Carolyn Devonshire. A
       sister, a gifted poet of radiant talent was herself carried home not
       long after this tear filled plea of healing for her brother. Her love
       was so apparent for others, and the beauty of nature. Why did
       she not reach out through poetry for prayer for her own healing?
       A selfless, precious giving soul, she obviously put others above her 
       own needs. There are so many poems that attest to this. Rest in
       peace sweet Carolyn, heaven must be so beautiful. I hope you are
       sitting in the garden of sunflowers bloomed anew in paradise, and
      composing beautiful lyrics of joy for the angels to sing.
