Sweet Survivor | Poem

Sweet Survivor

 So sweet to see no tube
 in her nose
 no oxygen in use
 no catheter
 so sweet to see 
 three meals today
 and water being drunk 
 with the words
 I love water

 Yesterday she babbled  without words
 today she babbles 
 with words
 and rhymes 
 playfully
 but answers questions
 what's your name
 moonrock 
 so sweet to
 hear my name
 Little Man

 - David Michael Jackson
