Breath breezes and wheezes in pain
as rasps rattle in throat so taut
and I can't soothe in efforts sought,
as hurt sails in such sadness of strain.
Breathe to blow
in growing angst
as illness fetters
in wetted flow and
temperature floats
in streams un-sewn.
In clouds of comfort, love untaught,
slips in drips of eyes' falling rain;
healing given in faith's few grains-
in warmth that adoration brought.
Wheezes to whispers in
wishes and wants as
influenza fails to take hold,
in words untold, in hands
of care, in hope and light-
these treasures so rare.
En la enfermedad y la salud, nosotros pisamos con el orgullo,
para la distancia no puede borrar estos sentimientos adentro.
