A chill settles in
her bones…rattling teeth drown
out all ghostly moans.
Pain continues to
increase, disallowing all
cries for sweet relief.
Her body ravaged
and attacked reason unknown,
yet her smile breeds HOPE.

Thank you. My sister-in-law has been critically ill (not COVID-19 related). The poem is about her. I am happy to say she is recovering rather well.

I am glad to hear that she is pulling through Greg. Ironically, not a good time to feel unwell!!!
