TO JOHN

There he lays, unaware,
eyes unseeing, unkempt hair,

sunken cheeks, gaunt and lean
the thinnest that he's ever been.

Differences? We've had a few,
probably more before he's through,

but to see him helpless, in this state
is the part I truly hate,

A man so virile, strong and tall,
reduced to this due to a fall..

Brain damaged, bruised and bleeding,
rest and prayers are what he's needing.

The surgery was deemed a success,
but it will not lift him from this mess.

His eyes are failing, legs are weak,
stomach gone; his fire, meek.

But, on this one fact the family strives,
their husband/father's still alive.

Walt
