Hubby's dis-ease, while over-seas

Val, good to hear
you're of good cheer,
& your old man-
"low oxygen!"

Please, God, give grace
to them in place-
-es strange and new,
to rest in you

and in the fact
that we can act
within your view
yet under you!

See this dear bro.
& his girl went..
please help them come
back, not just "spent"

but value-ad-
(not -dead, but) -ded,
with your life grown
(or even groan-

-ing) as with Him
who lifted chin,
(or at least eyes)
towards the skies

and often owned
(as well as groaned)
with those he saw,
& joined in more.
