Headlong Through a Minefield

My heart is seized in terror as you flutter through my mind running headlong through a minefield to its dangers you seem blind. I've lost my mother, father, brother, will I also lose my child? How can life be so cruel, why must life be such a trial? My prayers are always answered, but the answer's always "no," my sanity is fragile, I can't take another blow, Until you are a parent, you will never know true fear. Can you take me, instead, Lord? 'Cause I'd gladly volunteer. ©Danielle White
