In sickness and in health # 4 - Anita Holzberg

In sickness and in health
I keep you close
close at my table

You had a panic attack today
or lots of them

In sickness
I talk normal
not too much probing
you need a person to follow
you I say, a professional

In sickness
you heard me
In health
you will do what you want

I told you not to die on me
that's a promise I wanted you to say
You say, "I felt like I died, but I did not die"

Among the rosemary lamb chops
and Jewish egg noddles and avocado with tomato,
a pack was made

or so it seems.
