Impatiens

Give me
          Your patience
for the Patient
          who is really
the  Care’taker’
          depending  on
the Care’giver’
          to be
               patient
but she’s not

Thanking God as we pass the one year mark of my husband's successful brain surgery.  The road to recovery was rife with emotion, pain and unexpected challenges and setbacks.  I never dreamed the  caregiver would be challenged as much as I was.  As I swam in that sea, it seemed there were precious few moments to capture my thoughts in writing.  I knew, without a doubt that God is the solid rock upon which sometimes only our toes touch, so that our noses stay above water... by His grace.

“The Event”
cannot stop the heart
from seeing
dead ends
become
obstacles

so marks
become the pieces
of the heart
beating
the painted puzzle
pulsing

the forest
through
the trees
which clearly
he 
can see
