Our former neighbor, and when my
Friend and I visited her at the
Facility, her appearance was
Shocking.
We barely recognized her.
Age and disease had ravaged her
Body and mind.
I began to read to her from a
Devotional book, but she didn't allow
Me to finish.
I held her hand and prayed.
As I sat on the couch across from her chair
I looked into my friend's eyes trying to
Find the dear woman she once was and
Who she still is deep in her soul.
I caught glimpses of her, just a
Few.
If one day I'm in a similar state, I pray
That someone will take the time to
Do the same for me.
