Art of Caring

Sapphire Anniversary

Patrick Clary, MD

While he could still ride his ’67 Mustang
top down with his hospice chaperone,
he picked out a Yogo
in a solitaire setting as a fair match for her eyes.
Using a ring he swiped from her jewel-box,
he had the gift sized and boxed up plush,
left it in the leather jacket
he’d never wear again.
