Felix is in the hospital for a week.  
When he registers,
he puts “Roman Catholic”
down as his religion.  

On Sunday,
a lay-minister from the Church
down the street drops by,
and gives him Communion.

Felix doesn’t even know the guy.  

It’s a comfort to Felix
that the Church remembers its own.

At Broad and Girard the other day, I was thinking of Felix. Sorry to hear he is/was in the hospital. I hope he gets well soon.

It's a comfort to be remembered, by family and friends, and for those who adhere to a religious association, it must be a comfort to be visited by a spiritual guide.

ultimately...'life gets away from us all'...

  situation that Felix finds himself in!]

It is a comfort for any of us to be remembered even if only in passing thought Glad to hear Felix is on the mend
