June 7, 2010 (for Lisa)

When you see the face

of the sick one

it fills you with sadness

a penetrating

hurting sadness

but you feel happy
when you see their

shining smiles
look down at you

and it pushes

the sadness away

  3. Jill dearest ... it's 4a.m. and I'm wide awake as has often been the case this summer during my treatment ... your poem is filling me with peace. Thank you.
