- Steady recovery
- In the rehab center
- Of the hospital
- Is an awsome wonder
- For her husband
- to quietly ponder
- 4
- "Tim," she says to me,
- "This I know will bless.
- Our lives will be richer
- We'll appreciate the kiss
- The tenderness that will
- Bring intimate bliss."
- 7
- Vivian remains real
- Telling nurses and family
- Cringing in her pain.
- A symbol of humanity
- When she feels hurts
- She cries out simply
- 10
- What a jewel I have
- the Savior's love delt
- Gethsemane's pain
- in small ways that exalt
- is repeated by her love.
- similar to ways we've all felt.

Vivian is the one
Who should really be
The one to wallow,
unproductive pity.
Instead she builds
and comforts me.

I am proud of my wife
Without putting weight
On the left leg where the
Hip Socket was rebuilt.
Learning to do things,
On one leg to manipulate
8
She also pays the price,
to learn tasks takes effort
Common things are hard
just one leg does sports
And another painfully
Hampers, it won't support
11
My Savior's love expands
So alike is the caring.
I see in Vivian
The same personal giving
Helping Tim see Christ
In her devoted crying.

I had no broken bones
I had no stitches
I am out of the hospital
But her trust enriches
Her faith sees God's good
She uses creative stitches
6
Every day she heals
Bringing little blessing
Every painful challenge
Is relationship caressing
Though it could be
Just discouraging.
9
A walker, crutches. stairs,
Laundry, making a sandwich,
picking up, socks and shoes
new gadgets to reach
learning not depending
on anyone else to stitch.
