Healing Words

Just after childbirth, my wife fell
Into a deep coma, and stayed
That way for months. No one could tell
If or when she'd awake. I prayed,
As time went by, that she'd come back
To me and to our newborn.
Life without her was bleak and black.
Time passed, and I began to mourn.
One day while I was at her side,
Out loud, I gave her a scolding.
Suddenly, her eyes opened wide,
And she spoke, "I am no such thing."

My love is in recovery,
Surrounded by her family.
