Grey skies would not give way today,

the sun stayed hidden,

matching the mood of our home.

Sickness came to visit, two days passed,

no improvement and a night full of worry.

Checking every few hours, sheets soaked through,

insistence it was nothing more than food poisoning,

or the like. But his heart, I worry about his heart.

Cold sweats were the sign before, puts me on edge.

He pushed through the morning,

but finally he laid back down.

Then, his fever had broke when he woke.

Finally, signs of normalcy, hungry for dinner at least.

Hopefully, vacation will go on without another hitch.
