The pain, the discomfort,
in my own chest and throat
doesn't come close to matching yours.
Yet you,
so pale in your light blue paperish gown,
dull-skinned under the greenish lights,
frail-looking against the flimsy sheets,
have complained far less in ten days
than I did in the past four hours.
God give me grace to grow into the shadow you have cast.
