Notes About The Poem

This is a 'true story.' If interested, soup mail me, and I'll provide specifics.  

A Stroke

His brother
  a stroke
at the airport
  Come quick

Unnerved, shaken
  arrived in a tick

Took one look
  turned aside
  ashen-faced, said ~

"God has just spoken
  to silence we are wed"

Aaron’s family chapter 10? Shrugging my shoulders. Let me know.

It's a modern-day true story, similar in part to an event in Leviticus. Can you 'guess' which one? (Bet you can). ~ gw
