I am fine, Karen is fine ... and this isn't about OUR Bonnie. This is written for Charlie's friend, Bonnie, who was badly injured in a terrible accident. Please say a prayer for her ...

Poem Artwork

... the small hours of the morning
are worst.  Alone, except for the
beeping of an IV monitor and pain.
Hurts to move.  Soft-soled nurses
bring relief on the end of needles,

timed to four-hour intervals.  Hear
muted calls of night on overhead
speakers:  someone else needs
help.  And as I lay here, a smile
comes to my face.  In this house

of healing, you gave me the most
precious medicine of all:  h o p e,
when you said you'd be back in
the morning.  No doctor could do
that:  loved how you talked about

how good I looked, even though
we both know it's not true :  still ...
will take anything I can get.  They
say laughter is good for whatever
aills ... visiting hours start at 9:00.

a lonely time even when others are present is the hospital stay -- only one friend can bring true relief, and He is unseen -- this is a most compassionate thought from you Karla -- peace and love to you this day -- JMW

Beautiful write of hope, healing, and comfort during times of injury or sickness; no doctor can bring comfort like concerned family members and/or friends! Very well penned; brava!
