The Notebook

The Cry
Pages and pages of entries
Detailed documentation
Of visits, proposals,
Queston after question,
Hope, despair, choices
All written in her hand.
A journal, a diary, a quest,
All so objective
As if the writer were observing
Rather than enduring.
Dispassionate observer--
Except for one brief plea
Midway through that first year.
A plea, or a prayer, or maybe
Only a hope:
"I know God can heal me--I know that God heals--with You watching over me." 4/2/97
