Can it be?
(Cinquains - 3)
Oh Joy!
Awake and fine
Skills that doctors employ
With just a touch of the Divine
She's mine!
I'm awed.
Modern med'cine
truly deserves applaud,
as my wife's healing has begun.
Praise God!
And if
it all goes well,
she can finally say goodbye
to all her years of chronic hell,
I'll cry.
