To Love and to Cherish in Sickness and in Health
John D. Gibson
Evansville, IN
This forced unwanted separation tests
And strengthens what we promised all those years
Ago. Although we find it hard to bear
Your move to a ward beyond an easy reach
We hope it may restore you to yourself.
Meanwhile we trust the doctors may yet find
An efficacious medication that will
Steer you to a clear and simple path
To tread and I shall gladly take your arm
And stay with you till death us do part.
