Anniversary

Today, June 18, marks 46 years since Hilton and Marcia Terrell were married. He was a devoted and beloved husband. Although he spoke and published articles on medicine and medical ethics, he also wrote a few poems that he never shared publicly.


My Tabithite Wife

Who garbed others in scarlet cloth,
Herself will be where thief or moth,
May not steal a single stitch,
Placed with care by a heart so rich.
Clothed by Him, this Tabitha stands,
Her robes placed by His nail-scarred hands,
Presented alive to saints above,
Practical servant, imaging love.
While sewing for others, she was sewn,
To His heart, eternally His own.
