Tragic Visitation at my Father's Door


He woke up feeling quite queasy
Into hospital he goes
Comatose!
Two and a half weeks in a dream-like haze
What's reality?
What's his fantasy?
Will he survive
Or is he to die?
His life hangs
His family clings in hope
As he experiences the unimagineable
In his waking moments
What is his subconcious?
Fact or fiction
Are mixed in his existence
Eventually he comes out of it
The lessons had begun.
How to sit
How to walk
How to bathe
How to live
These tasks he must learn
How to grow
With lots of prayer
His spirit is renewed
Praise the Lord!
A new awakening!
He has recovered.

"I wrote this poem when my dad had a heart attack back in 1994. The fear of losing my other parent was great. I couldn't lose him ~ he had to walk me down the aisle the following November 1995. God's grace was upon him and he recovered. He walked me down the aisle at my wedding, and the photo featured in this border set was taken on my wedding day."
