such a wonderful day today is


Poem Artwork

Forty percent just a number
but for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
it was a perfect solution.
Now on this day in my long life
it is more an exaltation
my son now needs not a life vest.
The word from the doctor was great
his heart has improved just enough
forty percent a huge number.

Dear Budd, very touched by your poem and by your son's health. My nephew was born with a heart problem and the entire family was in despair. But, I don't know if you can understand what I will say. I'm not religious, but I am a believer. I have faith and my friends who wrote the comments below also have faith. Your son will emerge as if nothing was ever wrong. I'm sending my blessing to him and to you. That all suffering may disappear and you should only see good health and happiness. Love, Emile Tubiana
